So I only had five minutes for your article - sorry, I started a new job recently (which I badly needed!)

It seems to be a sort of "detail at all levels" system where power flows up from below and is chunked into larger and larger units.

You might be interested to know that Bali is organized in much the same way, at least the religious aspects.

I was very surprised that the word "anarchism" didn't appear anywhere, because that's exactly what you're proposing - a system where the power flows up from the individual, rather than descends down from the rules onto us, which is the very definition of anarchism.

I might be imposing my own ideas on your work, though. I personally think such a bottom-up system is the only way to deal with the problems of power.

Here's the thing - if you want to succeed, you need to be able to summarize your idea into one sentence, even if that sentence does not convey all the truth, and then one paragraph.

People won't read your 15 minute article.

Look at some popular movements. Socialism: "Workers control the means of production." Communism: "Abolition of private property." Republicanism: "Make liberals cry, and colored people are criminal monsters." Libertarianism: "Government is bad."

I would say that in each case, those slogans do not completely define the movement, and yet they convey the spirit very well.

If you don't come up with ah "elevator pitch" then your movement won't rise.
