    Honestly the base concept is fine, we’ve just never seen a working model.

    We just don’t really see many governments that are actually for and by the people. Most are closer to an oligarch tribunal that boils down to a slightly distributed dictatorship, then the slap a non-dictatorship name on it and press play.

      This reminds me of the book “Democracy May Not Exist, but We’ll Miss It When it’s Gone”.
