What are OI opinions on consensus democracy?
I've been playing with this idea in my head for a little while. I personally think that when it comes to setting up rules as to what people are allowed to do in societies, consensus democracy on local levels would be really cool if it could function. Ignoring economic systems in place (I don't want a shitfest between ancaps and socialists here), what does everyone think about consensus democracy rather than majority rule on local levels? Basically local government determining rules or laws with consensus democracy. What does everyone think about the practicality of this, ups/downs?
I think that if I could be convinced of the workablility of it then it would be something I would favor, but I'm still arguing about it with myself in my head.
