The Electronic Republic or Electronic Democracy? which would you pick? What's next for both ideologies because nothing stagnates. Are we force-fed opinions for you are what you eat and opinions seem to be the new facts? Whether you are watching or listening to you something corporately funded. First, you must ask yourself who creates the questions, and what does this narrative generates. Not who asks it, Its The Wizards of Oz 2.0 in the 21st century. and the media is the curtain of those that control the narrative. Listen to the questions being fed into this teleprompter/earpiece corporate mouthpiece. If you can control the flow and how a question is asked you can control the answer and the narrative along with the ideology. Greedy is the Idealist, be mindful but open to what you consume.

From my understanding, there are two prominent types of ideologies concerning the constitution. To summarize it is what it is and read as and can not be changed for the most part, or that it is a living document meant to evolve. That each generation is meant to expand on principles of liberty and accountability. To create a better reflection of what a modern free society should be.

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains. ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau

To quote Jean-Jacques Rousseau “Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains”. To meet the needs of we the people in the 21st century and beyond. The first forms of digital governance would be a Digital Transparent Electronic Form of Government voted by the majority; Digital Electronic Democracy. a true Direct democracy. The opposite would be The Electronic Republic, An individual or individuals selected from the community as representative; in a true republic, it would a great thinker and doer who can enact policies created by their community that better suit the community and voted on digitally by every citizen, with real-time updates and conversations/debate/suggestions between the individual and their base. To summarize, consistent feedback. Expanded on here by Phillip J. VanFossen. http://www.thepress.purdue.edu/titles/format/9781557535061) and Lawrence K.

E-democracy — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-democracy

the idea of the Democratic Republic was not met to stagnant in tradition as it currently has, it was meant to grow with the people. The only thing stopping us is the fears and insecurity instilled by the powers that be that keep the agenda and encoding conscious free minds with the belief that they have power. Politics are designed to (distract) divide, and (isolate) conquer the people through simple binary ideology(belief), it is time we shed the fear and believe in ourselves and each other, The things we fear only become a reality if we choose, to feed it and or do nothing.

When the value of things outweighs the value of people and living things, we lose the value of everything including the very thing that makes us human, our heart(love, compassion, empathy, and hope) desensitizing us from our own humanity. Morally and ethically, It is my belief, that all people of the world, of every nation, and state desire peace and freedom. Freedom and liberty are choices. All governments basically control where representatives control the masses doing civic duty with the “best intention” of their people or peoples, where the few govern the many through “representation”. We have reached a point that we the people can now represent and govern ourselves, given current and future technology.

John Stuart Mill — No great improvements in the lot of mankind are possible until a great change takes place in the fundamental constitution of their modes of thought”

“No great improvements in the lot of mankind are possible until a great change takes place in the fundamental constitution of their modes of thought”. That's John Stuart Mill said. what only limitations are the ones we choose to believe. A mass electronically worldwide or nationwide connect the digital Democracy or a digital Republic built upon the preexisting structure based on communal principles should be formed void of any social, economic, or political hierarchy, that transcends political binary ideology and borders, taking perspectives and input from all, because all want and are working to make it better. We all can now live in a world where the people have no representatives but themselves voting locally, regionally(state, municipalities) and realistically continental, allowing any individual to put forth, and pass any laws, regulations, bills etc defined by the norms(moral, ethical, and scientific facts) of each current society for each level and area of the known space in which we humans inhabit. It is time that every generation from here forward learns how to code and treat as if it was learning another language as provided through early education. As long as the majority of the people are coders Any coder could, in essence, improve the code being by fixing flaws, glitches adding to the security all individuals and their privacy of belongings, home, choice, views, perspectives ideas, and or multiple of each in regards of input is respected, and free of persecution and attack. Based on their choices.

This form of government would be void of base political/financial or any other Representative ties but weigh matters of opinion equally. All would have to be respectively working as whole of equal individual collective taking part in improving connectivity, transparency, and security of Electronic Democratic or electronic Republic that would be either a open-source universal tool(open-source software or other) and ever-improving by the individual or by a group selected to better improve freedom, and the pursuit of knowledge and liberty of the self government. An open society, not limiting; but tolerant, without individual or absolute censorship. The only leaders are all people regardless of any physical, sexual, intellectual, financial, or biological difference, with their pursuits of ideals, the ones we share as a species that unite us, love, peace, the pursuit of Knowledge and happiness.. Through this technology sustained through consistent education and knowledge, we could improve its open-source transparency, security, and an encrypted accountable exchange and self-governance. This would allow a Creation of a marketplace transparent, accountable, free and open exchange of ideas and knowledge. Especially when it comes to the pursuit of any knowledge, cultural, philosophical, technological, and scientific advances and media/medium none should not be limited or restricted by any means, but free, tolerant, and ever-expanding for the betterment of humankind. A government by the people with no limitation in the betterment for overall growth for all.

An Electronic Democracy of Individual sovereignty. No cleptocracy of the corporate nepotistic elite, no corruption, no influence, no secrets, no limitation on freedoms and liberties or equality’s, The lives that would be saved, the truth, science and art that could be advanced based on facts, not biased opinions, imagine the wars that could be avoided, imagine? Imagine the money we would save and put towards better like health, education, the arts, science, planet/environment sustainability, job creation, innovation. The potential freedom, transparency, accountability, knowledge, would be endless. As each generation adapts to more and more technology, paper, and brick and mortar will be less and less; from business to governance. It is only a matter of time before something like this or similar is implemented.

with the modern conveniences of technology, and advances of software and hardware along with broader use of the internet and other network-based superhighways. My question is this, with all these advances, shouldn’t some of them be used to benefit freedom, justice, and equality of the conscious sort.

wouldn’t this be a more true democracy, but would never happen because who would lose there job or power? Politicians, politicians could be replaced by votes made every day in the living room of your house, everyone’s house on what direction we the people want to go with the modern conveniences of technology there would be more transparency and genuine acceptance of accountability cause there will be no one else to blame.

Also, the electoral system could be abolished and all the money that is diverted to these people that are hired by the state government commissioned to vote for “the people” but don’t have to vote true to form when it comes to presidential elections. no one with ego should rule. Also, no corporation should be allowed to donate a unlimited amount to any presidential candidate the fact the supreme court allowed that is extremely scary because of the temptation and possible instability it could cause if position of power that represent a nation resting on one man…to do the right thing….for the lives of millions, who is more deserving that right, we the people or 1 man? we have the technology to govern ourselves as a nation finally to be a True Democracy, a True Republic, but we keep with tradition. America has always been about change and innovation, freedom, and equality, never about tradition. we as humans need all our limbs to survive why should be limit perception, we all need each other.

Projection of what will ensue if we stay on this path.

With limited state income, there will be limited freedoms and help for those who need it most children, elderly and handicap. with the increasing need to make up for the money we have already spent more pressure will be put onto the middle and lower class system along with state union based jobs. while corporations (resources)” oil, diamond, gold, lithium, etc” (information) “cell phone, software, visual and auditory copyrighted owned” bla bla bla etc etc list goes on. They get kickbacks and tax cuts. They are the new kings and queens, titans of chance and we are being led to the financial slaughter. more money leaves this country then stays in it… What do u see more of every day a flag or a commercial? who do u have more loyalty to then? the local political institutions will grow in adjatatated by all the cut’s they will pass it onto the middle class, that is when all hell will ensue when the protests start happening, innocent will lose there lives like the 60s or the g8 summits etc as our freedoms of the right to assembly are challenged by police and their modern technology there weapons of peace….the world is in a state of change the first half of a century seems to be the most important in modern history foreshadowing knowledge, technology, and art, and the perspective of political agenda of needs… we can either continue with the status quo of what there version of what government was intended to be for the people or what it should be? why should it stop there? Imagine freedoms self-governing as a whole for a country with a network with electronic voting from any device, connected every home into a better state or even world….. this idea will cause a never fester because it would cause a possible cause an uprising based on the original status quo to the limitation of today income” freedoms” laws, and bottom-line politics.. this unions of thought, will cause unrest, a bubble effect with disappearing lines and fewer states out of fear of change, out of traditions, change in perspective but no less wrong or right than any other, like bubbles on soap, separate and absorb to form a bigger bubble less divided, states we shall remain but united we shall not be…..on equality and honor, but not on principles…not on control/safety and convenience. ego is the enemy to the politician and humanity and with that, there will never be a pure democracy unless it is approached in a modern era in such a way or similar to. with all of this, yes I see revolutions of force, technology, and the perception. Maybe the powers that be would take it so far as a civil war, but I see nothing civil in war. Excessive use of power and control through any “mean”s (laws, technology, drugs, violence, etc) necessary to maintain the order of the status quo…the traditional…convenience of the convenient few. anything is possible the only nothing is never and that is still something.

But should we be governing ourselves? can we? I think so. I think peace. Transparency, honesty, justice, equality that a government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth….or has it? I’m Just saying, I’m not democratic or republican, I’m an American. We are not I don’t give a fuck generation, that’s what they want us to be, domesticated, dumb down, overworked, and numb.

A great man one said. “But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. That man was Abraham Lincoln. Corporations, Banks are the New Aristocracy. there are generations of the family put into Corporations, Banks, by people they know or family. with growth through the proper action and the proper degree of paper you can climb faster. it is modern-day serfdom with every other doing work to serve the market place of the “minimum payment.” And like cattle for the slaughter, we pick a wallet over our own hearts betterment. We are slaves through THERE benefits, retirement, health care, debt, and schooling. THEY own you and ……. everything can be measured by a dollar, even life. every day they feed your fear through marketing metal terrorism “are you depressed “ TV adds trying to numb our frustrations of the way things are trying to hide in the shadows of truth that we have the ability to change it together. Distracting our hearts through the ideas of disappointing ourselves and the people we love and care about talks of money and materialistic items…all of which are distractions with a smile.

Politicians always start out as the salesmen for the people. But it is through there pockets they are owned like any individual with whoever has the largest sum. giving up a piece of themselves, for the betterment of the environment of the people they love and themselves in an evil good way not good evil, why not just good and evil. Every generation has a voice..but not every generation uses it, previous generations always say the latest generation are the laziest generation. But who’s gonna be picking up the national debt in the trillions in taxes???! who’s gonna have no social security and who will have better?!! Who is walking into debt slavery? We look to them for safety and security instead of looking at ourselves and neighbors. we are having piles of shit dropped onto us and instead of protesting rallying peacefully in protest of this atrocity we see being done.. we sit copacetic and witness to a murder who says nothing is covered in just as much blood….instead of raising a voice, some of us sit blindly in our fears and distraction. Why? are you happy?
