Mine is a family of 6 and never ever had any kind of "general consensus" on anything whatsoever. Never.
from (
The Green Book - I )...
The instrument of government is the prime political problem confronting human communities (The problem of the instrument of government entails questions of the following kind. What form should the exercise of authority assume? How ought societies to organize themselves politically in the modern world?)
Even conflict within the family is often the result of the failure to resolve this problem of authority. It has clearly become more serious with the emergence of modern societies.
So what constitutes a "general consent"?
results of debate among the masses guided by socialism and/or progressive intellectuals... the debate to be democratic and open to all, irrespective of economic class ( in a non-socialist system ) or age differences.
What do you mean be "all levels"?
local community level ( neighborhood ) --> city level --> country level.
Who defines "levels"? on what basis?
** copy-paste from another thread **
the idea is to get every citizen to participate in the political running of society and have the whole system as decentralized semi-independent communes.
each neighborhood in a city calls its residents to a ground or hall and elects a secretariat... this is done with each resident participating and voicing opinion... the secretariat will then be responsible for maintainence of the neighborhood ( security, lighting etc ), for getting and discussing local needs with the city administration, for discussing local and societal issues with local residents and delivering opinions and decisions of local residents to city administration or higher... the local residents confer in a truly democratic manner, with disregard for age, gender, profession or other attributes... this gathering at neighborhood-level becomes called "basic people's congress".
if a city has ten neighborhoods, there will then be ten "basic people's congress" ( bpc ) gatherings with their own secretariats.
the secretariats of each bpc will gather to discuss local and city issues at city level... each secretariat will be delivering the opinions of their bpc's and the needs of their bpc's and how city resources can be allocated to each bpc in a clean manner... and to help make discussions smoother and to help get resources from higher level and to deliver the city's opinions to higher level, the gathered bpc secretariats will elect a secretariat for the city, and this secretariat can be from among them or from some neighborhood or any other person who is deemed suitable... the city-level gathering will become called "municipal people's congress" ( mpc ).
for easier administration of a larger society, some cities can be gathered together into a region and the city secretariats will gather in "regional people's congress" ( rpc )... this can avoided for a small-population society.
either the mpc or the rpc, the relevant secretariats gather at societal level in the "general people's congress" which takes decisions at societal level and to discuss world issues and how to participate in them... to help smoother discussions, the gather secretariats at this top level elect a "general secretariat"... the gathering becomes called "general people's congress" ( gpc )
in all this, each citizen's novel opinions are delivered from the bpc through a chain until it reaches the gpc, each decision by a bpc is delivered until it reaches the gpc... this makes each citizen of the society a politician and a decision maker and opiner... direct-democracy.
done within the guidance of socialism, this will yield and simplest and almost-perfect society... this entire system is called "jamahiriya" and if all societies human-wide are so changed, it will lead to "world jamahiriya"... this plus some more scientific changes will lead to true communism... a vision worth changing one's life for and working towards it.
i suggest you put a diagram for the bpc, mpc, rpc, gpc to understand them more easily.
for more (
The Green Book - I ).
"aam aadmi party" has a similar but smaller-scale idea in form of "swaraj".
And what is going to happen when there is no "general consensus at all levels"?
how??
in the above system, there is not vote system of just "yes" or "no" and there are no "political parties"... a person saying "yes" or "no" to a idea or decision or problem must state his reason.
