Amazing. Thanks for the insight. Got any links people would find useful if they wanted to follow in your footsteps?

Do you find it an enjoyable or useful experience?

Check out Liquid Democracy.

The problem with representative systems are that you're forced to trust the person you elected will actually represent your interests after they get given power, which invariably never happens.

There's also no mechanism to revoke that power during their term, so they're free to do whatever they (or their lobbyist backers) want, without your consent.

You should read up on Anarchism. Given your thoughts on heirarchical power structures, I think you'd find it interesting.

Surely there are more important things to teach kids than something that mostly serves the interests of large corporations

 

Written by Peter Gelderloos, this primer written in a portable format will introduce you to the core concepts of Anarchism and answers to some of the obvious questions you may ask yourself when learning about anarchism and its movements. Start with this if you are new to anarchism.
