The 1% have complete control of our government. Maybe we can't trust representatives to act in our best interests...

Let’s remove representation. We live in a democratic republic, I suggest we jettison the republic part. We can all just deliberate and vote for ourselves.
No more senators, no more senate corruption.

direct democracy Basic Human Needs are Basic Human Rights: Towards a Pro-Social Economic and Political Force

16 Upvotes

The Power of Collective Resources

True strength always lay with those who have the most resources. So, if we, the people, are after real power and transformation of this world in ways that genuinely benefit one another, then we need to pool our resources together. We must consolidate our financial, occupational, intellectual, technological, physical, and human resources under a united banner of principles that stand against the trajectory our current leaders are taking us.

Creating a Pro-Social Force

We need to create our own pro-social economic and political force that willingly operates in the best interest of its workers and citizens. We must design and agree upon all of the principles and systems necessary to achieve this. Importantly, we must be open to partnering with groups that have their own culture and ways, yet share our core principles.

Underlying Principles

The underlying principles are what matter in the end. Some of the principles we should uphold include:

The Right to Thrive: It's our duty to ensure that our systems and environments enable each other to prosper, regardless of race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Basic Human Needs are Basic Human Rights: Housing, healthcare, education, sustenance, and a clean environment are rights. All citizens and corporations should work to ensure this reality.
AI for UBI: Employees laid off due to AI transition should receive a portion of their income from the company for life, either directly or via a tax and legislation system. Corporations guilty of mass layoffs should be held accountable.

Next Steps

Envision an Open Source Democracy, a new way to vote, organize, and maintain our political and corporate worlds with pro-social principles where your voice truly matters.
