Hi I agree with you totally. Even power means like military, police and courts must be controlled by people to stop coups and those who want to change the system in their own esoistic advantages.

Representative democracy perverted it even though RD was “called” democracy. We now refer to “direct democracy” as the people ruling, having final say. This is why we need a Glossary to define terms we use for WDDM community. We must establish the tools necessary to conduct a World Referendum so we can have a “democratic world”. Now as to Antonio's constant objections, the people of each community have the power if they choose to use it and if they have demanded that they have this power. This power was established in the Magna Carta [IE] The power to petition the government. The only power necessary for democracy, direct democracy, pure democracy or any democraacy is REFERENDUM. If the people have the power of Referendum, they control everything. It they do not have the power of Referendum, they control nothing. This works in all community's, town, county, state, national, world. Each must have their own referendum. At least that is my opinion.
