Democracy
The Third Utopian Realism Societal Principle
For
a system that operates in most countries in the world currently,
democracy seems to be a seldom understood concept.
There
are two types of democracy.
- Modern democracy or
pseudo/fake democracy
- Real democracy
Pseudo
democracy is what operates in most countries.
It’s a
belief based system that your voice is heard and valued if you vote
for a political party to rule you.
Real democracy is based
upon practical reality.
Pseudo democracies trick you into
believing that if you vote once every few years (and if you don’t
you’ll be punished) on which ruler you’d prefer boss you around,
you’ll be participating in the creation of a better society.
Real
democracy presents each individual the opportunity and responsibility
on voting for each specific project in their town.
In
pseudo democracies, if a state minister/ruler wants to build a police
academy in your town, you have no say in the matter.
In a
real democracy, when someone presents this idea at a peoples council
meeting and the whole community rejects it with not a single person
voting in favour, then the project does not go ahead.
If
the people want a new natural health facility to be built, their
voice counts for nothing if the pseudo democratic minister/ruler does
not give his permission.
Even if every single person in
the community wants something and it’s only the single lone
minister/ruler who disagrees, the minister is the ruler and his voice
counts more than everyone else's combined.
Real democracy
works on the 51% principle.
If someone proposes a new idea
to build a new aged care facility on Jackson avenue and over 51% of
people agree and support the idea, then and only then does the
construction commence.
In a real democratic society if
someone proposes an idea to build a tram line through the centre of
town and less than 51% vote in favour, then the project does not go
ahead.
In an authentic democratic town, the people may
even decide to require 80% of the community’s vote before
proceeding with any given project.
It’s up to the people
to decide.
Real democracy works when you vote and express
your will on each and every single matter that is relevant to you and
the community you live in.
For a peoples council in a
community to be legitimate, it is recommended that it has at least
51% of the towns total population as active members.
In a
town of 10,000 people, over 5,000 people would be necessary for a
peoples council to operate ethically as a true expression of the will
of the people.
The voting age should be lowered to 12, as
nothing should be presented that is so complicated a 12 year couldn't
understand.
If a 12 year old cannot comprehend the nature
of the proposal, then the proposal is most likely not a good one.
If
someone under the age of 12 displays maturity and awareness of the
nature of proposals and projects, they may also be able to
participate in the peoples council.
We live in a strange
world and there do exist children who are more emotionally and
metally mature than some adults.
Competency tests to particpate
in voting can be constructed in schools to ensure those who wish to
become peoples council members are fully capable of casting votes.
A
similar process for adults could be considered.
Just
because someone is young, does not mean their voice is
worthless.
Why should being able to support what you do or
don't want in your town be effected just because of your age? Young
or old.
If you were young and comprehended the simple process of
voting to support what you agreed and disagreed with, would you want
that right to be withheld from you because someone else decided that
you weren't the correct age according to them?
The moment we
begin to start devaluing the voice of our children is the moment we
start raising a generation which is guaranteed to be less than their
true potential.
It is more important that the proposers
and counter proposers state clear and concise arguments then for the
voters to be experts on specific concepts.
The duty of
explanation for and against projects lies with those who present and
counter.
Peoples opinions don't matter if they are not
informed, once they are informed, then they matter.
It is
our duty to ensure people are always informed before making
decisions.
If someone is mentally disabled or slower to
intellectually mature than others, then they should not be able to
vote as they wouldn't be able to accurately.
This could
negatively effect our outcomes if people cannot cast informed
votes.
It is more important to inform people of the nature
of proposals then it is to convince them.
This way, we can
cast a vote according to our own thought process, not someone else’s
which has been imposed upon us.
Being able to make up our
own minds according to the available presented information is
critical for the function of true democratic societies.
You
don't have to be exceptionally intelligent or an expert about
building bridges to be able to choose the proposal which costs less,
needs less volunteers and is a clearly better designed
construction.
Simplicity, not complexity, is paramount to
successful communities.
The population of the town is
determined by available statistics and the town is considered the
geographical area inside a border, which can be easily seen on maps
by anyone.
If people don’t vote yay or nay for a
project, then their voice isn’t heard and their will is not
counted.
If there are 10,000 people in Frocksville and
8,000 of them participate in the peoples council as members, which is
the management system for the towns community, and only 5,000 people
contribute their vote for building a new community jetty on the local
lake, 4,200 for and 800 against, it seems practical, fair and
efficient to use this statistic as an accurate method for the peoples
decision to build the jetty.
Even though there are 10,000
people in Frocksville, not everyone voted.
8,000 people
are members of the peoples council and have declared that they are
interested in the towns management and want to vote on
projects.
Although, only 5,000 people did cast a vote for
or against the jetty project.
If the total population of
the town had voted, 51% would have been 5,100.
In this
instance, out of the total population and the peoples council
members, only half the actual population voted, 5,000
people.
Because only 5,000 people decided to have their
say, then it seems reasonable to only take into account those people
who decided to participate in the decision of constructing a new
community jetty and cast a vote.
The 2,000 people
who do not wish to participate in the peoples council and their
community's management have the right to not participate, but not to
complain about the jetty being built or any other community matter as
they are not actively participating and contributing.
If
there are 8,000 people of the community of Frocksville who are
members of the peoples council, yet only 5,000 vote, then the 51%
principle applies to only those who chose to participate in the
actual voting.
If 5,000 people voted on the proposal of
the jetty construction, then it would require 2501 people to vote in
support for it to be approved by the majority.
In this
case, there were 4,200 who voted in favour, an overwhelming majority,
so the project was given the green light by most of the voluntarily
participants of Frocksville.
Whoever proposes the idea of
the project would present their reasoning, through a power point
presentation, video or via some written method.
The
initial person or people against the proposed idea would present a
counter argument why the proposal should not go ahead.
These
for and against presentations would be presented live at a peoples
council meeting and would be recorded and uploaded to the community
app and any other associated social media groups or platforms.
We’ll
make it easy for people to be aware of the projects proposal and easy
to find more information about both sides.
For people to
cast an accurate vote, they must be able to become informed of the
pros and cons of both sides.
Making sure that the voting
method is legitimate and cannot be rigged is very easy.
We
use a paper and digital method to ensure accuracy and that anyone can
verify the legitimacy of the vote, anytime.
There would be
a paper notebook in the community town hall titled with each
project.
The notebook is separated into for and against
the specific project.
Peoples council members would sign
their name on numbered line for or against.
Example
Jetty
construction – Opening proposal date 24th june 2023 – closing
date 24th july 2023
For
1. Signed name
2. Signed
name
Etc…
Against
1. Signed name
2.
Signed name
Etc…
The notebooks would be stored in
the town hall, allowing everyone to cast their vote and for everyone
to be able to verify the legitimacy of the votes.
Each new
project requires a new notebook.
The notebooks are kept
after the decision has been made for future reference.
Each
proposal should be allowed 1 month to give the people enough time to
decide which side or idea they support.
If the entire
community decides to vote in less than one month, then a decision can
obviously be made quicker.
The same system can be used via
the online digital community app.
It would just look like
a digital version of the physical paper notebook, which again anyone
can verify and cannot be corrupted.
There would be a page
for the specific project and inside that page a for and against
category.
You simply write your name down, yes or
no.
That’s it. Everyone can see your name and how you
voted and you can see everyone else's.
The need for
secrecy in such important decisions is the surest way to create
corruption, just as we have now.
You have nothing to hide
and everything to show by having your voice count.
There
is no way to cheat in this system and doesn't rely on trusting anyone
for the accuracy of votes because it is such a simple and effective
method.
Unlike current pseudo democratic systems, this
system cannot be rigged.
If someone does try and write
their name down more than once or use fake names, they can be easily
caught out by anyone.
Actual democracy does not work only
via representatives, this is a trap of pseudo democracy to steal all
of your power.
In fake democracies we are tricked into
consenting once via voting, then they use the excuse that because you
consented to vote, you therefore consent to everything else the
“elected representative” does there on after.
Whether
you agree or disagree with the representatives choices is
inconsequential, you gave them your permission to exercise your will
by voting for them to be in charge of you.
Even if you
willingly voted for your ruler of choice, how much say did you have
over their second in command, advisers and associated ‘experts?
This
is obviously a poorly designed system as no one man or woman is ever
going to be able to exercise your will the way you would.
It’s
your will and belongs to you, you should be responsible and have the
power to use it as you desire.
Your will does not need to
be re-presented when you can present it yourself, via presentation or
vote at peoples council meetings or via a dedicated community
app.
In fake democracies, you can only vote for people,
when you are allowed to.
In real democracies, you vote for
ideas, whenever those ideas are presented.
There are
exceptions when it comes to representatives, such as in times of war,
but these are exceptions and should NOT be the rule.
You
would not be able to vote for whether or not a tunnel should be built
beneath a town halfway across your country.
Because you
don’t live there personally, the outcome doesn't effect you
personally.
It seems fair that the people who live or work
in a specific town have the right to manage it the way they see fit
without outside influences.
Of course, if you still did
wish for a tunnel to be built under a far away town because you could
see the benefit but the towns people could not, you could ask to
present a persuasive argument at a town meeting with the pros and
cons of why a tunnel should be built there.
The towns
people can either accept or reject the proposal.
If the
people don’t change their mind after seeing your presentation, then
so be it.
If they do, great for everyone.
When
considering national parks and state forests, would it not be
reasonable to divide the land up evenly between the surrounding
towns?
The idea of proximity management makes the most
rational sense as opposed to our current non-localised and uninvolved
management.
Our current method of managing land is quite
bizarre, somehow a very small group of people wearing fancy suits
that many if not most people did not vote for, have exclusive right
to land that is no where near where they live or work.
It’s
an absurd management system that does not seem to obey logic, only
special interests groups and their desire for power over other
peoples local resources.
If a ‘crown’ ‘state’ or
‘national’ forest is near a town, that closest town/s and it’s
collective community/s should have the management rights, not a group
of people 1,000ks away in a different city.
Why? Because
the forest or land is geographically closer to those people and it
only makes sense that the people who live the closest should have the
most right in deciding how they use their land.
If a
resource is discovered in an unoccupied area of land in the middle of
an uninhabited area, then the closest town/s and townspeople should
be able to decide how they manage those resources.
If
there is an unclaimed and unused area of land in a town that holds
resources, like a mineral deposit or timber forest, then the
community can take collective ownership of these resources and decide
how they would like to use them.
If that unclaimed land
‘belongs’ to the government, then it really doesn't and actually
belongs to the people, because who’s will is the government meant
to represent anyway?
If it belongs to a private individual
or corporation, the people can arrange meetings with the current
owners to decide the best way forwards.
Perhaps the
community all chip in and buy that land at a reasonable price from
the current private owner, which would be a fair exchange.
If
the current owner is unwilling to co-operate, there may be grounds to
take the matter to an independent arbitration centre based upon
dishonest and unethical behaviour.
If someone is
deliberately restricting resources from others, not because they are
using them, but because they don't want others to have them, then
this can be considered a crime.
If what they are doing on
the land is causing harm to others and the environment, such as
dumping toxic material into a river, poisoning the soil, fracking,
venting toxic fumes into the air or emitting harmful EMF radiation,
then action can and must be taken to prevent them from breaking The
Lore.
That action would be to follow the ladder of
escalation.
The use of defensive force is only to be used
if all other methods have been used to no effect.
It’s
always best to ask someone nicely to stop what they are doing before
moving onto the handing of paperwork.
Do you think it
would be appropriate to use defensive force against an individual or
corporation that was actively causing harm to your towns environment
and in effect, the people that live there?
After you had
exhausted all peaceful solutions, of course.
Do you feel
that you and the towns folk would have the right to use force and
defend each other and your land by from dangerous agitators who
ignore reason and all means of peaceful co-operation?
That’s
up to the community to decide.
Just remember, when it
comes to morality and ethics, you always have the right to defend
yourself from destructive opponents.
It there’s not a
problem, don’t initiate one, if there is, solve it.
It
is illogical, impractical and inefficient to have someone or a group
of people who are not in the local area act as a ruling authority and
decide how a community manages their resources.
Everyone
is free to suggest how a town should or should not manage their
resources, but no one is free to dictate through violence how a
community is to manage their resources.
Rulers exist in
pseudo democratic nations.
Leaders exist in real
democracies societies.
In real democracies, you have the
power to influence change and have your voice heard, in every single
decision of consequence.
In pseudo democracies you don’t.
All you have is the coercive threat that you must pick
your preferred ruler until the next time you are again forced to pick
either the same, or slightly different ruler. That’s it!
Whether
or not the voting is rigged or all the political party’s actually
work for the banks is irrelevant.
As the fundamental
structure is flawed.
Even if only good honest people were
to be elected, it’s still an awful system that is unfair, unjust
and a waste or resources and talent.
Watch this video “If
Your Were King” to see how it's practically impossible to
be a 'good' king.
The whole structure of a pseudo
democracy is built upon the concept of a ruling class with more
rights, privileges and benefits than the rest.
It doesn't
matter how good or honest you are, you can’t magically be voted
into a special job and gain more rights and powers than
others.
Especially if people didn't even choose you to
boss them around!
Immigration and restricting peoples
movements just because they are from a different piece of land than
you is an interesting subject.
If the community of
Frocksville had a majority vote to allow anyone and everyone who
agreed to abide by their same Utopian philosophy to visit and live in
their town, then why would people in any other town feel they have
the moral right to violently stop specific people living in a town
which they are welcome?
Why even have the idea of borders,
if not as a means to dominate and control people by taking their
precious freedom?
This world equally belongs to all who
live on it.
The idea of having bordered countries is too
broad of an idea to have any real logic behind it, only opinion and
feelings.
In uncivilised monetary and involuntary
societies that divide themselves into categories via country borders,
sure, this can make some sense.
But in peaceful and
civilised human societies, on the local town community level, this
does not make sense.
If you wanted to travel to another
country, essentially just a different area of land on the same earth
we all live communally on, because a local town in that country had
invited you to visit, should other people in a different town have
the right to violently stop you from peacefully visiting the town
which invited you in?
Of course not, no one has the right
to initiate violence against a non-violent and peaceful person.
If
you simply wanted to visit somewhere else in the world, while of
course being peaceful, how can anyone justify using violence to stop
you from freely travelling?
All you’re doing is moving
your body over land to place yourself in a different position on the
earth.
You’re not breaking any Lore’s Of Morality,
you’re not trespassing on someones private property or breaking
into their home.
So now the question that may be raised
is, ‘well isn’t the land and country owned by the people who live
there and if you go there without permission, you are now trespassing
on public land’?
Would the locals require permission
from anyone else to walk down the street, go to the park, or drive
along the roads?
No, so why should you?
Can a
local just walk into anyone's house without permission or enter a
fenced property just because they want to?
No, so
obviously you can’t either.
Why make different rules for
different people?
Why should the rules of where a local
can go be different to where a visitor can go?
We can’t
live in a world of equality if some people abide by different rules
than others, no the rules must stay consistent and fair for
everyone.
If a huge influx of foreigners began to arrive
in your country and appeared to be ready for an armed invasion, then
sure, that’s an appropriate time to act.
Having border
policies wouldn't have prevented the invasion and hardly would have
delayed it.
If a huge influx of foreigners came to your
town and your towns people didn't like them, well then that is your
right.
You don’t have to allow them access to your
stores or business’s, you don't have to sell or offer land to
them.
If they were desperate refugees, that’s up to you
the individual and the town as a whole as to what aid you do or do
not offer them.
If they are refugees, they may be quite
open to the idea of supporting your new Utopian town and may become a
great asset and even greater friends.
But as long as these
foreigners, who should be treated the same as everyone else, behave
in a peaceful way and don’t violate The Lore, then what is the
problem?
The real problem is the mental conditioning we
have received from war mongers who have successfully installed divide
and conquer strategies into our minds.
We just have to
uninstall that corrupt program and look at things clearly, as they
are in reality, not as they are according to psychopathic rulers.
If
in a worst case scenario the foreigners begin peaceful and then try
to take over the town, you have the community protectors, militia and
ideally everyone armed.
Not to mention that you can call
upon the aid of other sovereign towns in the Utopian Alliance.
If
all we have to worry about is terrorists coming from outside our
country, then we are lucky.
Compared to what we have now,
terrorists coming from the inside and working for pariliament.
In
a Utopian society, we are far better protected than a dystopian
society.
Comfort comes from strength. Fear comes from
weakness.
If we are strong, well prepared and well
organised, then we have nothing to fear by being hospitable and
expanding our community.
All the world is ours, let’s
treat other people like our brothers and sisters, and maybe they will
treat us the same.
In real democracy, the leaders and
supporters stand side by side.
No one is on a pedestal and
no one is kneeling.
Shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, we
all march together with a common goal.
Peace.
