We and the world are on the way to total democracy; we are in the middle of the backlash against total democracy
Total democracy depends upon total equality and free public education, public well-being, and cooperation. It takes more time and energy especially in its early stages-but we are going to have the time.
Total democracy is incompatible with forms of patriarchal and slavery-based cultures of the past. Those cultures are typified by ladder models-hierarchies.
Total democracies are circle models. We are in the backlash because those afraid of losing the hierarchal model are trying to prevent the great leap forward to Total Democracy, but it is occurring all over the world.
Watch Hong Kong, watch the women of Rwanda and Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. watch the Zero Waste Movement in the US (it is not a hierarchal movement born in the Washington DC center of hierarchy power. It is bubbling up from so-called ordinary people who are picking up the power lying in the street and changing the way humans relate to our planet.These are the men and women and children who are dumping the hierarchal ladder model-they are not going to lick the boots of anyone supposedly above them or step upon those supposedly beneath them on some artificial ladder of power or success.
Watch Merkel, watch Warren, watch H Clinton. There is a reason Clinton hah focused on human rights and earned the wrath of Putin and the oligarchs as well as the elitists of the American right wing-the McConnells, the swaggering males who want that limited democracy and if they can't have it prefer dictatorship.
Understand the he depth of meaning in the term Women's Rights are Human Rights.
Understand why Betsy DeVos wants charter schools and not public schools. Hierarchies bully people out of the public square and the public spaces to which we all must be welcomed into equally.
