So it all boils down to the sole franchise of the vote as the only way to bring societal change. That's not something that the information age is going to afford, and I thought that - pause given by threads like this notwithstanding - the foundations of hacking and cyperspace independence were meant as a surface on which to build something better. I don't think that the world's poor and disenfranchised can afford to wait around for generation after generation while we try to figure out how to inspire change in international finance by using only the debilitated and purely symbolic tactic of voting. > In a democracy, those limitless powers are limited by voters I just want to point out that, empirically speaking - if you hold the US and Europe states to be democratic institutions - this is observably false. Voting has not achieved limitations unto halting empire, predation, and extraction.
