Good to hear from you Joey, I think we're always going to need forms of 'higher level' decision making, even perhaps an inter-national level - the important thing, at least to my mind, is the the constituent parts (nations) are sovereign, right down to the smallest folk unit - so power begins in the home, and 'trickles up' through any 'higher' level of organisation. The local government structure, especially the smallest (Parishes in the UK) level seems to offer a proven model/ system for this - many of the 'parish' boundaries in the UK have remained almost unchanged for the last thousand years - which proves how effective the 'human-scale' level of organisation can be. As we transition away from centralised economy and politics and re-localise our production/ reclaim our sovereignty, I think this level of 'government' will become increasingly relied upon for conflict resolution/ decision making. I tried GAB -it's a little too 'amphibious' for my liking- not broad enough in it's political watershed, making it a bit like an ideological echo-chamber... not that the FaceSpook algorithms are any better. Nice to link up anyway and I look forward to reading your future posts.
