Excellent work, a great documentary. This is what my thoughts have been treading upon these past years. I look forward to contributing to such societies as these. Thank you for your contribution, I look forward to more.

This film is Beautiful!

I don't feel this film is against govt per se-

more like a rethinking of how our govt is played out by us, as a whole. i live is California under a democracy, but the UK is also under a kind of democracy, but its played out or structured differently, maybe even better then my USA... I have spent some time in Europe and loved its subtle differences.

"I call it Government 2.0"

You just thought of that term right now? What a visionary!

I call that 'trolling.'

Pros for Canada's Green Party: they actually managed to get a seat - a huge leap for any Green party in an FPTP system of government.

Cons: they're against the wireless internet, arguably the very thing that gave them their lone seat in government!

Read more about an R.B.E. (Resource Based Economy) at The Venus Project.

Imagine a world without war, poverty and politics! We must stop consuming like we do in today's economy, we must stop producing goods that are made to break down, we must begin to care for each other! We only have one planet, we better take care of it!

Great job. Lets organize! The people united as one humanity with no borders or obstacles, including money!, can achieve anything!

And people said Anarchy can't work. This is a clear example of Anarchy in action.

I have one question: where can people find enough time to vote on everything?

[adjohnson916]

The decentralization of power lies in our future. Emergent, bottom-up orders will be the most organic, resilient, and beautiful structures history has ever seen.

@radscorpion8 As for the rule by majority - I think that's a moral argument. Do the majority of people want to live in harmony with others, and if given a chance, would they try to accommodate everyone? I think people inherently do want to live in harmony, its just that people get discouraged if they don't see a means to make that happen or if the system is set up in such a way that only one side can win. You can create laws that serve everyone; you just need the proper input.
