General debate: Do YOU think activist groups can ally with a party yet stay true to themselves?

29. Sounds like your vision is

...similar to the Native Americans way of life pre-European invasion.

It can work on a local level, but not all locals can travel to a central point and go about deciding what to do. That's why we have a democratic republic - to do the state and nation's business.

My fav idea is to have many many more representatives. From cities to state and national levels with a constant turnover of reps who are beholden to a central core purpose and multi page and clearly written constitution.

That way nearly everyone in their lifetime has a good chance of actually being in the midst of decision making, and understanding how it all works.

My Occupy group, being new to the game, doesn't have much knowledge of how things actually work or the history of even the local procedures. A mass rep situation would involve many people in the action and make everyone aware, from childhood even, of the ins and outs of governing.

Isn't that like your vision of everyone playing a part?
