Maurrassian integral nationalism and decentralized models of socialism have different motives — agrarian romanticism and anti-jacobinism for the former, workers' control and anti-authoritarianism for the latter.
Benjamin Williams
False dichotomy.
Dylan Ward
Yes obviously, I'm just making fun of Trotanon's post (and this thread in general) for only providing very generalized and vague critiques and solutions to contemporary democracy that could as well be espoused by a political theoretician that had nothing to do with socialism.
John Butler
Direct democracy may be unrealistic, but representative "democracy" is a proven farce. Liquid democracy is a great synthesis though.
Juan Murphy
Like others said it has the problem that the most reactionary policies can be implemented through swiss-style direct democracy, for example the fact that women's suffrage in Switzerland got universally accepted only in 1971 was due to it being rejected in earlier referenda: en.wikipedia.org
Maybe it could be implemented once the masses are sufficiently educated but this is problematic; there always remains the possibility that a majority of the population will hold reactionary views on some things. In the case of a direct democracy, what things should be decided through referenda and what things shouldn't?
