The most important message

One of the greatest mistakes of all humanity is to believe, and therefore delude ourselves, that a few people can serve the interests of all. With a few exceptions, a few people don't even fully serve the interests of those who support them, but too often those of small groups, and when these groups become lobbies, freedom and democracy are weakened. DirectDemocracyS

This is why DirectDemocracyS was created with structural rules of control and widespread responsibility.

For once, let's quote ourselves, and not think with someone else's brain, and not explain concepts with someone else's sentences, but refer to a long but detailed sentence, which is one of the main reasons why all of us, and anyone who will join us, have created DirectDemocracyS, as a complete, fair, equitable, secure, modern, innovative, continuously evolving, and completely alternative system to all other systems.

Almost all the world's problems and all the injustices, if you think about it carefully and with an open mind, are caused by the first sentence of this message of ours, which is the most important of all.

So to solve all these problems, would it be enough to apply direct democracy?

No, a direct democracy like all those tried to date wouldn't solve the problems at all; in fact, in many cases, it would make them worse. We've discussed this in other informative articles, and we've explained how DirectDemocracyS solves all the flaws of direct democracy. Some people, and even technologies, consider us a hybrid democracy, or seek out extravagant names. We like our name, which, with the final S (which stands for system), was chosen out of necessity, to distinguish us from other projects, to have our own identity, almost by chance, because it wasn't possible to use only direct democracy as the main domain of our platforms; therefore, a single letter explains everything about us.

To propose a project like ours, without our unique characteristics, without all our rules, without all our methodologies, without all our lengthy instructions, and without our motivations, but simply using theories like direct democracy, power to the people, or let's decide everything ourselves, would be a grave mistake, because the world's population wouldn't know what to do with all that power, without rules to help and prevent any potential problems. Letting everyone decide everything is truly utopian, without expertise, complete information, and without protecting everyone from any potential manipulation.

Bottom-up democracy without safety, preventive measures, and protection of the system and its members inevitably leads to anarchy, social conflict, even violent revolutions, and even crimes or abuses. And then, even if everything were resolved with violent equity, in a short time, all the lobbies, and all the dispossessed individuals, would return to power, manipulating and deceiving the entire population. With free, simple, and universal bottom-up democracy, equity would be only apparent, a mirage, while meritocracy would not exist, but only the crafty ones, who, using a few complacent and complicit influencers, could establish the dictatorship of a manipulated and overbearing majority over a minority, perhaps competent but powerless and subservient. At DirectDemocracyS, we always practice grassroots democracy, power to the people, with highly detailed implementation rules, a balance of traditional hierarchies, often pyramidal (in the good, meritocratic sense; we are not a Ponzi scheme), but also with complete bottom-up management and control, with truly and completely shared leadership. Above all, to prevent any potential autarchic and dictatorial drift, or corruption of the system and its members, we make all our members official, collective owners of all our activities, all our platforms (including the management and control of all our technologies, based on detailed rules that prevent boycotts and abuse), and therefore of our entire system. We do this with a single, non-cumulative, and non-transferable individual action, which is registered and made effective for each of our official members. And to prevent dictatorships of the majority over the minority, we have very detailed, open, informed, reasoned, and accountable voting rules, implementation of electors (by user type, to prevent boycotts, fronts, and infiltrators), and above all minimum quorums to be reached, based on the importance of each decision we make. All this with the possibility for anyone to participate in every decisive activity, provided they are our official members (for complete management and total control), or have a verified and guaranteed identity, to be able to vote, and therefore decide, in our shared leadership.

Lottery democracies were created by resentful people, envious and often hateful of everything and everyone, often lacking in individual or group qualities, who think that by drawing lots, sooner or later, they too might gain some fame, power, and wealth. They are the worst form of government, because potential criminals, but also incompetent people, could hold important positions if they are not based on competence, on equality always combined and guaranteed for all along with meritocracy, as we have always done, and will always do, at DirectDemocracyS. If they are so in favor of drawing lots, why don't they draw lots for the doctor who should treat them, or why don't they turn to a mechanic in the case of a tooth extraction? This type of methodologies was created by incompetent people, hoping for a bit of luck, with far worse risks for everyone. A system without equality would certainly be unjust and unfair, while if equality is not always combined with real and verifiable meritocracy, any system would be doomed to failure.

Direct democracies are incompetent because not all of the population has studied every single topic, and thus they risk making the wrong decisions, against the population's interests, as well as impulsive decisions, declarations of war, invasions, terrorist attacks, or provocations. To ensure that all our users and all our groups are competent and informed, we have created specialist groups for each type of topic, composed of all our official members (therefore collective owners of our entire system, to always have complete and neutral information), based on declared, demonstrated, verified, and continuously tested expertise (with cross-checks by everyone, on everything and everyone, according to very detailed and fair rules) , both in terms of competence and continuous updating, and in terms of reliability, loyalty, and incorruptibility.

Representative democracy, on the other hand, ties in with the first sentence, and is democracy only on election day, or through rare, futile, and incomplete popular referendums, with questions chosen politically, and never by the people. Immediately after voting. A few command and decide, and everyone submits to the decisions of a few. We call it by its true name: oligarchic partycracy. To address this grave injustice—the theft of power, which in a democracy should belong to the people, by representative politics—at DirectDemocracyS we have always allowed our voters to fully manage and control our political representatives, but also internally, by our official members and our official representatives. At DirectDemocracyS, we efficiently prevent any accumulation of power by a few people or groups of people, and we clearly separate political representation from the management of our system, which is entrusted to official representatives.

Not to mention all the other forms of political expression, one worse than the other, each defending the interests of a few, such as all the various dictatorships.

In this world of such diverse proposals, all with very serious and obvious flaws, concrete and perfectly functional solutions were needed, and so we finally talk about DirectDemocracyS.

A brief premise: you shouldn't view anything we communicate as propaganda. We're not proposing anything, we're not selling you anything, we're not promising you anything (except that every word we say is actually put into practice, exactly as we say it). We're not teaching you anything (unlike everyone else, we want to learn from everyone). And above all, we don't want to change your mind. In fact, for us, diverse ideas represent greater opportunities and potential; therefore, they're useful for the common good. We don't manipulate anyone, not because we're incapable, but because it would be primarily harmful to our system, which was designed to be enriched by all ideas, all projects, and all individualities. We always say it: we are united in diversity, and we demonstrate it continuously.

All other systems, all the lobbies that have always controlled almost all other political forces, and almost all their respective political representatives, and therefore have always governed the world, are divisive, and base all their power on divisions, which come in all forms: national, local, religious, political, ideological, cultural, traditional, ethnic, linguistic, and even sexual. These divisions are continually amplified, taught, and instilled in everyone, starting from childhood, and are often amplified and exacerbated by adults, and the most squalid thing is that they do so without everyone realizing it. At DirectDemocracyS, we respect and protect all diversity, but we do not allow any of it to influence our decisions or interfere in our activities. Unlike everyone else, however, we consider diversity a richness, and therefore all are useful, as long as we do not seek to dominate one another. A mutual respect, which together with logic, common sense, truth, and reality, are integrated throughout our system, and continuously implemented, in every decision we make, and in every activity we do.

Transforming potential conflicts and divisions into opportunities that benefit everyone is one of our strengths. Our solutions are simple—giving all the power to everyone—but to implement them and achieve excellent results, there's a right amount of complexity. Simply put, simple solutions to complex problems aren't possible, because without all the necessary details, countless problems can arise, often going unnoticed and unresolved by everyone.

Anyone who looks at DirectDemocracyS at first glance feels like running away, seeing how many rules and specificities there are, which make us unique and inimitable. We've even created new terms, like human bridges, which are our nervous system, making us independent of technology, the internet, and even the lack of electricity; our micro-groups, which are our physical, real presence, in every urban or rural area, up to a maximum of 1,000 inhabitants; official representatives, who are public, identifiable figures, who represent us according to detailed rules, in various ways, and in various places; even traditional hierarchies, based on concrete results and points accumulated individually and in the groups we join from the moment we first join, and countless other specific rules.

We advise you not to run away, but to carefully and thoroughly study all our public information with an open mind, without hasty judgments or superficiality, but rather to seek to understand our enormous potential and the consequences of everything we say. In short, we ask you to evaluate the beneficial effects, even of those decisions of ours that raise some concerns. We have all the answers to all your criticisms on our official website; just search, and you'll find many answers, because we've done a long, hard, and complicated job, drawing on all the mistakes of others, constructive criticism, and even the insults and threats we've received. All of this has allowed us to do a job we can be proud of, and sooner or later, everyone will understand. Everyone will understand that if we do or decide anything, it's based on shared work and decisions, and nothing is left to chance or fate.
