I want to make in such a way that people will be alert for that

2017-05-21 23:04:07 UTC

or they'd be fired

2017-05-21 23:04:42 UTC

not from the top to the bottom

2017-05-21 23:05:54 UTC

What happens when the people are wrong?

2017-05-21 23:06:41 UTC

They face it and learn next time

2017-05-21 23:06:56 UTC

What if they do not learn?

2017-05-21 23:07:33 UTC

Then they chose to act against their own interests for something, it'd mean that the majority and the minority is irrational

2017-05-21 23:08:06 UTC

this is prevented from the platform anyways, it's not that we pull democracy out of thin air

2017-05-21 23:08:55 UTC

the previous development pulled the theory, which could shape the constitution; example: putting that all exploitation is banned because it's a right and studying in the academia how it works

2017-05-21 23:09:04 UTC

self-managed media, etc. this can't be done now

2017-05-21 23:10:06 UTC

in bourgeois democracy the media is controlled by hierarchies and capitalists in their own interests, parties depend on funding (with an advantage to capitalists) and to change the whole system you need to face the external imperialism and opposition

2017-05-21 23:10:11 UTC

so it's like a dictatorship

2017-05-21 23:10:13 UTC

'Acting against their own interests' can be avoided with authority that is grounded in material reality, that is, when intellectual superiors have higher authority to the average

2017-05-21 23:10:34 UTC

also, education serves capital with terms like totalitarianism and mainstream economics

2017-05-21 23:11:24 UTC

that's assuming there are intellectual superiors

2017-05-21 23:11:46 UTC

Are you saying that everyone has equal intellectual ability?

2017-05-21 23:12:03 UTC

if educated, yes

2017-05-21 23:12:39 UTC

a few books aren't so difficult

2017-05-21 23:13:39 UTC

So if we both read the same book, we understand it with equal depth and insight?

2017-05-21 23:14:17 UTC

Unless we are clones raised in mirror worlds, this is never true.

2017-05-21 23:17:39 UTC

public education can make tests and there could be assemblies with consensus about it; but about interpretations, there could be factions

2017-05-21 23:17:58 UTC

and I think that giving a minority the authority because other minority think that they're best is the wrong way

2017-05-21 23:18:16 UTC

wouldn't it be easier to have an authority

2017-05-21 23:18:19 UTC

it's an imposition

2017-05-21 23:18:26 UTC

How many different interpretations of '2 + 2 = 4' are there?

2017-05-21 23:18:42 UTC

what if

2017-05-21 23:18:52 UTC

teachers had like democratic elections

2017-05-21 23:19:04 UTC

so if they don't work they can't preach to their tenure

2017-05-21 23:19:09 UTC

in the decimal system this is true

2017-05-21 23:19:15 UTC

and it should be taught as science

2017-05-21 23:19:21 UTC

although not in a binary one

2017-05-21 23:19:31 UTC

Consensus is a logical fallacy, appeal to popularity.

2017-05-21 23:19:56 UTC

It is only sigificant if based in science.

2017-05-21 23:20:17 UTC

anarchists unions try to discuss in assemblies and get into a consensus, convince who doesn't agree with them

2017-05-21 23:20:29 UTC

What a waste of time.

2017-05-21 23:20:33 UTC

this could take more time yes

2017-05-21 23:20:40 UTC

but after it we don't have to do again the law

2017-05-21 23:20:44 UTC

change the government, etc.

2017-05-21 23:20:54 UTC

because we already agreed and learned from it

2017-05-21 23:21:12 UTC

in other cases, there could be supermajorities

2017-05-21 23:21:35 UTC

Assuming you made the correct discussion, which you cannot know because you care more about consensus than authoritative truths.

2017-05-21 23:21:36 UTC

and in irreconciliable cases factions

2017-05-21 23:21:55 UTC

no

2017-05-21 23:22:10 UTC

scientifical truths doesn't depend on democracy

2017-05-21 23:22:24 UTC

this is built on the platform in a pre-revolutionary phase

2017-05-21 23:22:51 UTC

but after it, what people don't know if it's truth or not; what we have to agree

2017-05-21 23:22:58 UTC

What kind of truth is not scientific?

2017-05-21 23:22:59 UTC

this is other thing

2017-05-21 23:23:30 UTC

in politics?

2017-05-21 23:23:44 UTC

it depends a lot on the environment and the circumstances

2017-05-21 23:24:20 UTC

we don't have laboratory conditions

2017-05-21 23:24:35 UTC

I should rephrase, what kind of decision making should not be guided by science?

2017-05-21 23:25:28 UTC

there could be some zones in the territory that would prefer to pay for having this thing or another one

2017-05-21 23:25:31 UTC

for example

2017-05-21 23:25:44 UTC

I agree it should be guided by science when possible

2017-05-21 23:25:58 UTC

So you are saying, if we are 100% ignorant, which is not the case, but if we were, we should use consensus, but then once we have science why not abandon consensus in favour of science?

2017-05-21 23:27:25 UTC

I agree when it's 1+1=2

2017-05-21 23:27:41 UTC

What if others do not agree?

2017-05-21 23:27:47 UTC

What if they are the majority?

2017-05-21 23:28:07 UTC

then people has done such a bad educational work

2017-05-21 23:28:34 UTC

and maybe the judges, the minority, are judging in a bad way and are pseudoscientific thinking that they're scientists

2017-05-21 23:28:55 UTC

they already were educated

2017-05-21 23:29:16 UTC

and thinking that only a minority has scientifical reason in this is an imposition

2017-05-21 23:29:55 UTC

I never said, only the minority have scientific reason, I said that the best minds should have authority.

2017-05-21 23:30:38 UTC

You are assuming an unprecedented scenario, where every person is a genius of equal intellect.

2017-05-21 23:30:53 UTC

Let's say that people can do basic math

2017-05-21 23:31:06 UTC

if it's too advanced, the best minds could explain it to the people

2017-05-21 23:31:09 UTC

in a way they can decide

2017-05-21 23:31:33 UTC

politics has values

2017-05-21 23:32:10 UTC

Assuming this were possible, why bother if the outcome will be the same because there is only 1 correct answer, objectively.

2017-05-21 23:32:14 UTC

2017-05-21 23:33:24 UTC

Sure, educate people to the best of our ability, but do not, yet, rely on them to make the correct decision.

2017-05-21 23:33:51 UTC

because if for some reason the delegate isn't doing what we agreed, we can overthrow that person violently or legally

2017-05-21 23:34:02 UTC

it avoids "revisionism"

2017-05-21 23:34:23 UTC

otherwise the delegates have a spirit for themselves

2017-05-21 23:34:39 UTC

Why not just point to the incorrect teaching?

2017-05-21 23:35:13 UTC

yes, but who will point it out and who will listen?

2017-05-21 23:36:03 UTC

The authority will point it out with intellectual reasoning. And if they are corrupt, then the contradictions can be easily pointed out.

2017-05-21 23:36:23 UTC

the authority is the corruptible one

2017-05-21 23:36:31 UTC

the contradictions aren't so easiliy pointed out

2017-05-21 23:36:35 UTC

see Khruschev

2017-05-21 23:36:49 UTC

there can be protestors but the people when they don't know the problems could ignore it

2017-05-21 23:36:50 UTC

and let them pass

2017-05-21 23:36:51 UTC

The majority is incorruptible?

2017-05-21 23:37:33 UTC

the people has to decide the fate

2017-05-21 23:37:42 UTC

they're not the ones who can be corrupted

2017-05-21 23:38:01 UTC

If an authority works against the interests of the collective, objectively, then there may be grounds for new revolution, because they have become the new bourgeoisie.

2017-05-21 23:38:17 UTC

It is inevitable.

2017-05-21 23:38:34 UTC

people don't notice it when they don't know about it

2017-05-21 23:38:45 UTC

this is happening in every country now

2017-05-21 23:39:06 UTC

and I don't see how the USSR prevented this; a few people may realize it

2017-05-21 23:39:30 UTC

What are you talking about? Don't you agree that socialism is inevitable?

2017-05-21 23:39:48 UTC

yes but it needs class consciousness

2017-05-21 23:39:57 UTC

and organization

2017-05-21 23:40:25 UTC

even more, we need to be careful when we have a capitalist bloc that is our enemy

2017-05-21 23:40:29 UTC

So how is it going to happen do you think? There are going to be revolutionary forces. Which is also why there should be a Vanguard.

2017-05-21 23:41:36 UTC

the platform in combination with the anarchist unions have to improve the consciousness of the people and act

2017-05-21 23:41:45 UTC

When a socialist authority gets corrupt, it becomes bourgeoisie. And a new dialectic begins.

2017-05-21 23:41:56 UTC

we could add a party too, but as an extension

2017-05-21 23:43:05 UTC

they don't have to become the bourgeoisie to be corrupt
