Oh, I see. I did not read your most recent blog. I'm skeptical about selection by lot, but I will go read it first before I comment.
That wasn't the point of my most recent blog. Cockshott and I argue for selections by lot instead of elections (of personnel). Demarchy is statistically representative democracy. Voting is different from electing.
Well, granted that we require some kind of public officials with powers to make important decisions (which I believe we will still need for some time after the revolution), they need to be elected. We cannot move to direct democracy immediately after the revolution, and having officials appointed by any means other than elections leaves the system too open to nepotism and various other kinds of corruption.
After reading Cockshott and myself, why do still advocate elections, if I may ask?
Thank you - it's good to be back. Last semester at Uni was a lot busier than I expected, but it ended well. I did a project on the economic calculation debate.
Long time no see, comrade! How has your uni been?
Stupid board "upgrade" (you've got an "invite")
