Theres definitely a problem with ‘top down’ rulemaking. In my view its only going to get better if decision making and organising starts at the community level. A bottom-up approach. Decisions should be made as close as possible to the people living in the democracy that the democracy, as an organisation, purpotedly serves.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Daron Acemoglu’s latest book tour. I had some thoughts I shared on it yesterday on my Mastodon account. You might be interested.
and no, i’m not sharing it because it had zero engagement on Mastodon fml 😆 I just can’t be bothered rewriting an explanantion of the ‘domination’ aspect Acemoglu presents as a countervailing force pulling at the two poles of liberalism.
I see, I didn’t really consider that, I don’t have kids. It was more or less the concept of being told what to do all the time.
