Democracy is one step away from Monarchy in the direction of freedom. It federates centralized State power away from a single point into several slightly less centralized points. It also allows the public to voice their opinions on who rules them.
But it is still based on State dominance, and is therefore subject to all of the potential corruption of State power, and is also rooted in the tyranny of the majority. If 3 of 5 people in a democracy vote in a direction, the remaining 2 people are dominated by the State under threat of violence.
We need to move another step away from State power into something new.
Some will say “it’s not possible! Democracy is best!”. But these are the same kinds of people who said “it’s not possible! Monarchy is best!” when the last season of change came. Others want you to explain exactly how everything will work in advance, so they can bog you down in endless semantics, and prevent any actual steps forward into the new.
But it’s time for the new. You can feel it in the air.

What if it was a system based on regional cooperation rather than a centralized power. Each of them defining their own government.

You could define power as being owned by those regions, or states. The concept could be called "States Rights."

The loose association of cooperation could be something like a confederation of those regionally autonomous bodies.

A "Confederacy" if you will..

@PurpCat @bonifartius That sucks. It would be a more comfortable form-factor to play calculator games on.

Which reminds me that I should probably get an TI-Inspire just to try out the CaveStory port.

@bonifartius They should make a TI-Inspire in the shape of this.

Sucks to be you. Luckily, I live in a country where I can legally make as many intense flashing effects as I want.
