Apparently some people are more equal than others…. Not surprised. What would be truly humorous was if these idiots tried to bill you for the time it took to seize your land and evict you. THAT represents TRUE democracy in action.

“..democratic federation allowing for collective decision making by landowners.”

A democratic system that you have to buy into?! No. It’s a shareholder’s meeting with an elected board of Directors.

It seems like a great idea; just drop the ‘democratic’ part.

Can Democracy work in SL? Maybe,We do got the “poll/vote” system on members in SIMs.
Choose leaders? Yes you can by vote, but it wil usly be the moust “popular” person.
I am for Democracy in RL, i live in a RL “European social democracie” in Scandinavia, we also got Kings and Queens, it works, kind of,lol.

As a SIM owner i rule in 5 SIM, its my word that are the last, BUT i delegate, i let leaders of my staff run things them self, i aprove or i dont aprove what thay do, but thay know me, thay know how i think and its based on TRUST.I listen to my member/SIM users all the time and i trye to plese them all, my advice : Listen to your members and staff.. but be shure YOU own it all and that YOU got the last word

Whenever a government has to use the word “Democratic” as an adjective, as in “German Democratic Republic” and the “Democratic Republic of the Congo,” you know that it’s going to be a country where democracy might be in short supply.

Without free enterprise and free speech, this Confederation of Simulated Democracy isn’t so democratic. The weighted votes putting faction leaders highest is also one that can work with European social democracies and communism, but doesn’t always work well in other settings with less civilization and more need for freedom. In fact, it’s a system that rapidly gets abused and gamed in places like Russia.

Continuous democracy? Say what you will, but the move to brand Ulrika Zugzwang and Enemy of the People and the State and confiscate her buildings does raise some interesting problems for the notion of democracy.

The real question to ask about this fabulous “continuous” experiment in democracy and self-government is this: if it is so all-fired fabulous, how come it only has 4 sims in it? It should have 400 by now.
