    A process where people were meaningfully enfranchised wouldn’t need to rely on something so abstract as votes.

    how is this one supposed to work? Just curious, since voting seems to be the only real method of direct representation, unless you’re suggesting a global at will military force, which, would be a thing.

      Federated communities that make decisions on consensus, with the fundamental rule that “those affected get to decide”.

      There’s a lot more to it and there’s a lot to unpack in just the above paragraph, but if the only alternative you can imagine is a global military dictatorship then it’s hard to know where to even start explaining it to be quite honest.

        global military dictatorship

        it’s not necessarily a global military dictatorship. Although that would be one aspect of it.

        Currently i would argue that global geopolitics IS a federated system of operations, that’s why wars and conflicts happen.

        piracy is kill on lemmy.world, dbzer0 hasn’t killed it. There are many examples here.
