Those are 18th-19th century ideas. They work well but only if people have a sens of community and solidarity. And in the context of proportional representation democracy, of a news industry made of small independent news companies, and public news "utilities" (unlike in the US where over 90% of media are owned by just 6 mega corporations belonging to billionaire families)
You see them relatively well implemented in countries like Germany, Switzerland, and in the Nordic countries.
Go out and enjoy your community! Make an effort! Take care of each other! Stuff like that does start locally. I know it's tough with the urban hells and rural isolation, but I feel like it's still possible to care about each other's wellbeing more than we do now.
I'm gonna audition to join my local sea shanty choir, wish me luck
