living democracies circus, and other niceties Hi everyone s.
I'm about to bore you again. I hope it's soon.
Today, democracy is a social act by which we pretend that "competent persons" manage our society, for it, leave it in your hands the complete control of our future. We exchange the peace of mind that will do their best for all and probably will do best not to neglect the needs of citizens who are unable to keep pace with society and are sealed off from it. That's what we voted for one day every four years.
Therefore, we have acquired a concept of a couple of millennia ago to what is a "society": we have achieved democracy circus ride. While there is a circus for the masses happy everything works well, and when something goes wrong, the blame always lies with those who are in the arena, never of "trained" to send.
But what we really hope for a democracy? Tod @ s
very clear what we mean by democracy, or what should be a democracy running smoothly it would be a social event where everyone s act to achieve social cohesion and define relationships for a more balanced, always trying to improve in tod @ s the result of our costs and benefits. Therefore we do not talk money. We speak of social relations and the future.
At this point, I think it is appropriate to speak of democracy alive. It is what we have now. The living democracy can be achieved through ILCs and other means, but, undoubtedly, to this day, it was impossible to make it functional and fast. Internet, computers, social networks, etc., Are enabling this to take shape. It is creating means by which you can get a full interaction at all levels. In short, you can create channels to achieve a functioning democracy.
And what a living democracy?
Its form is very simple, simpler than the circus that now we have democracy.
A vibrant democracy is the ability to tod @ s citizens have to decide daily on the movement of the country, the future of society. Tod @ s
of us in PIRATA are aware of the cuts at all levels who are suffering the internet freedoms. The aim is to prevent citizens make decisions, ensure that citizens know and decide themselves.
'll take a current example: Wikileaks. Until recently, several NGOs who supported Wikileaks. Now ask them to delete data that have managed to give birth. The situation or problem is not that Wikileaks has revealed that documentation and therefore the risk to five people for their situation.
The problem is that states use unauthorized tools to perform tasks not wanted by any citizen, the problem is not that Wikileaks has given birth to these documents, the problem is that the state use its power to such actions and actions after the documents were created. The initial charge is the problem, not Wikileaks. But how Wikileaks facing this? has to lose. Because it is being actor against state action. Do not forget, however, that Wikileaks is a social action to power. Every action has a reaction. And unfortunately, if the action was wrong, the reaction will not be more expected, even necessary.
Where this leads come from the state?
The state does not allow citizens to control the situation. The states are using their tools to remove the tool, Internet, from the hands of citizens for social control. How
been undertaking a living democracy? Let's start
make sure we understand what democracy is alive, or alternatively, through ILCs or the environment may be desirable or close to get full access to the citizen.
democracy alive tod @ s means that people can actually access and access control needs of society. Invalid know that I can vote once every four years and not even vote. It is legal to have a system of democracy alive and not even use. The first war we have is that citizens understand that acting for a living democracy is as important as breathing or eating, or have feelings. When a citizen access to an association, NGO or other entity is performing an act of democracy alive but we know that all citizens are not well.
But the right not to decide is human, not an obligation.
This leads to the first point of departure. The game starts today, not even started before December 6, 2006.
from PIRATA If we are to achieve a functioning democracy, you must first make it clear to citizens what is and how it affects you, you feel the need to act and that requires tools. We can run a functioning democracy, because we know that decisions depend on the citizens, not politicians. Why
the game starts today? Now I put in "ON" button. Is on. There is no turning back, unless that among all the quench.
How goes? With silence, with reluctance, with a "someone will do ... let me go party."
How do you keep running? Acting, responding, participating.
And now comes the best part: Pirate affiliates are involved? because if we get some milloncejos of citizens to participate, we show that it is possible, and we begin with ourselves.
I do not know how many of you reading this, or even how many you have received. I think about fifty. Maybe more.
If parties want democracy here alive only need to answer ... for example saying "hello I'm here," I argue that ...", "Go get you stop drugs" (I like to say it lol), "I think not like you", "someone comes holiday ?"... etc. etc.
answer
The fact is significant to participate, regardless of the message.
Then, if we want to participate as well go ahead with pirates, they should have answers fifty with creative messages or asking what the next step.
This is only the list @ assembly vibrant democracy is there in it?
