As we begin testing micro-groups in DirectDemocracyS, some rules, methodologies, and instructions will be slightly modified.
Invitations, registrations, and activations for new users are changing.
At times, due to the excessive number of requests for invitations, registrations, and activations, we had to block these important activities. This was primarily to prevent potential attempts to undermine, slow down, or even shut us down. These attempts would have taken control of our system through the numerous registrations of new users, who were used as fronts to carry out unsavory activities. In short, there were times when we noticed a veritable influx of new users, which, while we were pleased, put us in the unfortunate position of having to postpone certain activities to prevent individuals, groups, and lobbies from causing any problems. To effectively prevent these attempts, we created waiting lists, some of which were very long.
Waiting lists are changing.
While our priority was previously having competent and compatible people, we had a huge demand in our international groups, later, even at the continental and national levels. We had to create separate lists based on our needs, implementing a priority system. Priority was given to the types of users and specializations required by our system, based on geography. We also created maximum quotas (the maximum number of users that can be activated in a given period, in each territory) for each level: international, divided by continent, and then divided by national level. We will do the same at the local level, with all our micro-groups.
Same platform, various subdomains and various websites.
By creating various subdomains and websites for the main user types, we intelligently solved, while preventing any potential problems that would have been possible with a single website.
Everyone will join us on the free website, and then over time, based on their specific activities, they will be able to access our login website. And again after a certain period of time, based on their behavior and specific results, they will be able to access our official website, and even very important reserved areas on our website for super administrators, and finally for our guarantors.
We've also created various electors, based on user types and geographic areas, according to very detailed implementation rules that make it impossible for anyone to create any problems. Electors are essential to prevent a few individuals and groups from attempting to undermine our work.
We will not block new invitations or registrations (including free ones), but if necessary, we will postpone new activations of people who are not reliable and necessary . We will communicate all the necessary information and instructions, including alternatives, to those directly involved. Let us explain: for us and our system, all people are important, with the same rights and responsibilities, but there are different skills and compatibilities, and we often have to activate the people we need most first, postponing the activation of some, according to our rules. Anyone would do this, especially in the difficult and complicated initial phases, which force us to be very selective.
Testing our micro-groups requires us to focus on specific geographic areas, so numerous blocks are possible, and very likely, not only of official invitations, but also of new registrations, and especially of new activations, based on geographic location, of certain user types (except for free users on our free website), and of other specific rules. These aren't excessive security measures, and we don't like wasting people's time, but our shared work is very important, and we can't afford to make any mistakes.
Official members (as a registration user type), test micro-groups, and micro-groups in general (when implemented in all countries), will take precedence as new invites, registrations, and activations.
To best conduct the testing of our micro-groups, we will prioritize inviting, registering, and activating our members. Simply put, when one of our official representatives creates their own micro-group, they will be able to invite up to five of their relatives, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances using their own unique official invitation and registration link. With the collaboration of our connected groups, our national and local organizations, they will be able to activate the new users.
Brief explanation.
We are not a pyramid scheme or a secret sect.
First, anyone is free to join us at any time, even for free, with no obligation to be present, and without any obligation to engage in any activities with us, except for the mandatory steps to secure your personal profile, which must be completed upon first login. Anyone who meets the requirements can become our registered user, with a verified and guaranteed identity, and thus play an integral and decisive role in our shared leadership. Anyone who meets the requirements can become our official member, and therefore a collective owner of all our activities, all our platforms, all our activities, our entire political organization, and our entire system. Furthermore, anyone who meets the requirements can become our official representative, and any level of higher user, up to our super administrator, and even our guarantor. In a secret sect, not everyone can have these potentials, which we guarantee to everyone.
The methodology we use with simple or official invitations , where each of our official representatives invites five people to their group, who in turn can invite five more, who in turn can invite five more, and so on, might seem like a pyramid scheme, and even lead to comparisons to a secret sect. The reality, however, is much more banal and even simple.
Our official invitations are all issued by each of our users authorized to issue official invitations, subject to guaranteed identity verification (with the cooperation and supervision of our special security teams), verification of annual fee payment (with the cooperation and supervision of our special administration teams), and the acceptance of full responsibility for the invited person's behavior and all activities, in perpetuity, by the person who officially invites them.
This method guarantees continuous and complete connection, communication, support, collaboration, and even mutual monitoring between people who trust and support one another. The number of five official invitations is an initial limit, but higher user levels can officially invite even more new users, following the same rules and always assuming full responsibility. It's precisely this assumption of responsibility that interests us, to make our system safe and reliable, resilient and secure. Taking responsibility for those you invite, who in turn assume full responsibility for those they invite, makes it easier to manage your contacts and allows us to implement a "chain system" with multiple links. If a "weak link" is found, it makes the system robust and impenetrable, allowing it to be replaced with a new user without any disruption to the system.
In this article, we're referring to micro-groups, but the same process applies to all our activities throughout our system. For example, in specialist groups, in addition to joining groups for which you have declared, demonstrated, and verified expertise, you can request—and, if you meet the requirements, obtain—authorization to create your own specialist group, acting as a human bridge to communicate and collaborate with other similar groups. If you wish, you can officially invite new users with the official membership type to have them as direct contacts in your social area and to have them join your specialist group (if they have the skills and requirements). In many other economic, financial, multimedia, even sports, and charitable activities, you can also officially invite new users with the minimum official membership type to create working groups together. In some cases, even some of our official members who are already members of similar groups can join all of these groups to develop joint activities.
The testing phases for the various micro-groups will begin at different times, in different countries, and will have varying durations. However, we want to clarify one fundamental point: these micro-group tests are concrete activities, and therefore are completely valid and fully functional, and will forever be recognized as our official activities. All points accumulated by the various groups and their members will be valid and will be distributed, based on the concrete behavior and activities of anyone participating in these important activities. The micro-groups will be able to expand into neighboring geographical areas and, at the right time, become official organizations, gaining electors . Finally, they will be able to merge with each other to create all our micro-groups and official organizations, at the local level, from the smallest to the largest geographical, territorial, administrative, and electoral areas.
After becoming official organizations, with at least 31 members, the micro-groups that have become official organizations, even during the testing phases, will be able to organize their own phases for the selection of political representatives (with the collaboration of our specialist groups), organize electoral campaigns in their urban or rural areas, and organize their own closed online primaries. Those who obtain the necessary results and meet all the requirements will be able to participate in the subsequent phases of electoral campaigns and closed online primaries at the local, national, continental, and international levels.
We will proceed in exactly the same way for the selection of our internal hierarchies, and for the management of all activities, of our entire system, at every level.
Like all activities in DirectDemocracyS, the activities of our micro-groups will also take place in various phases.
The stages of micro-groups have various time periods.
The micro-group design phase began with the first meeting of the five original creators, who were, and still are, convinced that our system must always be close to the people. Above all, our political organization, to be efficient and useful to all, must be physically present, in every urban and rural area, to be able to speak directly with every single citizen. Despite being a collective system, every person must be listened to, supported, and protected.
The testing phase, with various sub-phases, involves implementing microgroups at specific times, in specific locations, and in specific countries around the world. We do this because we're unlike others, and we like to test every activity before making it fully operational globally. We know that microgroups are an excellent idea, destined to change and improve the world and make our entire system concrete, not just virtually, but without first conducting some checks and testing the effectiveness of all our rules, methodologies, instructions, motivations, and safety measures, there could be some small but annoying problems. Let's be clear: we've already analyzed the possible effects and consequences of implementing microgroups, but since these are activities that take place with people, close to their homes, we want to be sure we prevent any potential problems.
The preliminary stages are extremely important because they will allow and require each of our official members to become our official representatives in a small but crucial geographic, territorial, administrative, and electoral area, around their home. They will not do so with their own personal profile, which will remain completely invisible and anonymous forever. Instead, they will be given a partially public political representative profile. Thanks to highly efficient security measures, this profile will protect all personal data, yet allow anyone to verify whether or not a person is authorized to represent DirectDemocracyS in a given location. The username for our official geographic representatives is created with the exact geographic coordinates of their habitual residence (at least six months of the year), and they will receive a login password and a digitally signed official representative nomination document. They will also receive a personalized email address, ending with @directdemocracys.org, with the same official representative username (their home coordinates) in front of the @ symbol.
The second preliminary phase will create all the necessary capabilities for each official representative, the obligation to create a micro-group that will have the geographical coordinates of their home, and a "territory" that includes fewer than 1,000 inhabitants, and to begin, at the appropriate time, all the activities of their micro-group.
The initial phase of the micro-group is carried out directly by the official representative and consists of finding at least one person with whom to begin spreading the word about DirectDemocracyS in their area. This information campaign will utilize the strategies and advice from our support groups for official representatives and those for micro-groups.
The central phase of the micro-group is represented by the involvement of the entire small community in all the micro-group's activities, and by the fundamental activities for each micro-group and for each official representative: informing, communicating, supporting, inviting, registering and activating, and making every person living around their home a protagonist.
The microgroup boundary phase is very important because it allows each member of any microgroup to rapidly expand the presence of the DirectDemocracyS system throughout every urban and rural area. Each official member of each microgroup can create their own microgroup to expand the presence of our system by involving new members, who in turn will involve other new members, potentially covering the entire planet, as and when necessary. Each member who creates a new microgroup will act as a human bridge, physically connecting two or more microgroups with members present in multiple microgroups. Of course, in addition to physical connections, our platforms will also feature microgroups connecting microgroups, with all the potential needed to communicate, collaborate, support each other, and carry out countless activities together.
The micro-group unification phase is realized by the unification of micro-groups in the same geographic area, or in neighboring geographic areas, to create all our larger local groups, such as medium-sized or large groups, at the street block, neighborhood, city, district, province, region, state, groups of states, nations, continents, and global level. All these unifications occur physically via human bridges, and on our platforms, via all our websites.
The official microgroup stage occurs when each microgroup has at least 31 members (obviously, there can be many more). At that point, the microgroup automatically becomes an official DirectDemocracyS organization in its urban and rural area.
The subsequent phases of the official micro-group/organization will involve political activities and the implementation of the entire DirectDemocracyS system, including business, investment, financial, economic, multimedia, communications, information, education, research and study, sports, and even our charitable foundation. At the political level, there will be selections and nominations for our political representatives, candidacies and election campaigns at all levels, and our closed online primaries. There will also be selections, nominations, candidacies, and elections for all our internal organizations, as well as many other activities.
For each phase, numerous public, but also private, and in some cases confidential, informational articles will be written. The reasons are simple: not everyone is interested in all the details, and we already have a wealth of public information , including highly detailed public articles, covering practically everything.
With these important activities, our system becomes concrete and visible in the territory, and will carry out every activity in the interest of all people, without any kind of discrimination.
Some short questions and answers about the micro-group phases.
What are the advantages of being among the first to create micro-groups? In many activities, being among the first offers numerous advantages and benefits to those with the courage and determination to trust a system destined for potentially infinite growth and immense success. Just look around at the alternatives to understand our enormous potential. The main advantage is strategic and effective, immediate and concrete. Being the first to create a micro-group around your home may at first glance seem pointless, or even trivial. However, if you analyze the prospects and further development of our entire system, you realize that the first have always been favored, as is right and fair, with superior user types, more points accumulated, roles of greater importance and responsibility, and even cash prizes, goods, services, and various benefits. In practice, whoever creates a micro-group first will have a more important place in our useful, safe, fair, just, loyal, reliable, and inevitable hierarchies. DirectDemocracyS has traditional, top-down, even "pyramidal" hierarchies, but they are implemented with a unique and unrepeatable balance (thanks to our rules, methodologies, instructions, and unique and inimitable style), which allow us to always implement bottom-up democracy and truly and completely shared leadership. This method of implementing equality and meritocracy, ensuring them always and consistently to anyone who joins us, while rewarding the first courageous ones who join us and trust our system, is very useful for creating excellent results. Of course, each more important role, with greater power and greater responsibility, is not simply achieved by being the first; it must be confirmed, with concrete activities and declared, documented, and verified results, every day, therefore continuously over time. Otherwise, even a new official member can quickly obtain similar roles, or take over, if necessary, from the most "senior" user, who has been with DirectDemocracyS the longest.
Are there any simplifications available to allow anyone from outside to join DirectDemocracyS and create micro-groups? Simplifications are planned to facilitate and expedite new registrations and subsequent activations, without sacrificing all our security measures. There are several informative articles that explain the various stages of the official invitation, registration, and activation.
What are the costs of creating a micro-group? Any official member who has paid their annual dues can request and, if they meet all the requirements, be appointed as our official representative. They can then create their own micro-group. Therefore, the only fee to pay is the annual official member fee, which costs €25 if you are 31 or older, and €12.50 if you are under 31. Longer terms are available for those with a gross monthly income of less than €1,000; the annual fee is valid for two years. For those with a gross monthly income of less than €500, the initial annual fees are valid for three years. For those with no source of income, the initial annual fees are valid for four years.
Are there any costs involved in raising awareness of microgroups among those living in urban and rural areas? Publicizing the existence of microgroups doesn't require a large investment. Even simply creating a business card or flyer (with a short text and explanation) with the name and surname, username of the official representative connected, their phone number (which will automatically become the official phone number of DirectDemocracyS, our microgroup in that area), and the email address of our official representative ending @directdemocracys.org (which will automatically become the official email address of the microgroup and DirectDemocracyS in that area). On the other side of the business card, you can place at least five QR codes. The first is a message in your language briefly explaining DirectDemocracyS and its microgroups. The second contains the contact form, which verifies the authorizations of our official representative. The third explains how to fill out the registration form. The fourth contains the unique registration form to be automatically connected to our official representative (which also creates a free personal profile). Finally, the official public page of the microgroup, if it has already been activated. These codes provide preliminary information, authorization verification for those contacting people on our behalf, instructions for joining us, and a connection form to our official representative. This allows you to receive support after registration, being automatically connected, and then communicate directly on our platforms and carry out a variety of activities together.
Micro-groups are the physical presence of the DirectDemocracyS system and our political organization, in every urban and rural area with up to 1,000 inhabitants.
What are micro-groups for?
To make DirectDemocracyS known to many people around the world, to organize multiple activities together, to bring people living in every territory together, to unite to create larger local groups, to make everyone protagonists.
Who creates the micro-groups?
Any of our official members who meet all the requirements can become our official representative in their local area. To do so, they simply fill out an application and will receive an official representative profile (partially public), which will allow them to create their own micro-group.
Who is the real protagonist of the micro-groups?
Each of our official members residing in the geographical, territorial, administrative, and electoral area who is invited by our official representative to join their own micro-group is the owner of the respective micro-group and becomes its protagonist.
Who votes and decides in the micro-group?
Any registered user with a verified and guaranteed identity who lives in an urban or rural area where one of our microgroups exists can request and must be admitted to the voting group for their user type, linked to that microgroup. Official members, and all other user types above official members, in the microgroup can vote both directly and in linked voting groups.
What are the obligations of being part of DirectDemocracyS?
It depends on the type of initial user you want, which depends on your capabilities and willingness. Everyone has a user type that is and will always remain completely free, with no obligation to be present or participate in any activities with us. In the micro-groups, there will be linked groups for the free user types, where you can participate in various activities, including very important and fun ones. To vote and participate in decisions, you must be at least a registered user with a verified and guaranteed identity. To collectively become the owner of the micro-group and gain important user types, including at the local, national, continental, and international levels, and to unlock many opportunities, including becoming our official representatives to create your own micro-groups, but also to obtain a political profile, linked to your personal profile, to run for office in our closed online primaries, and, if you perform well, to run for office in the real elections, you must become an official member. Each user type has its own rules, opportunities, annual fees, and various obligations. Those who have financial problems, or those who have technological problems, but also those who do not know how to use technology, can receive all the help and support they need from our representatives and official members.
Where do all the activities take place?
All activities take place in the urban or rural area where our micro-group is present. Members of these groups can, in turn, become our official representatives. Especially those who live in the outer, "border" areas of each micro-group can create their own micro-groups and act as human bridges between them and neighboring or partially overlapping groups. Activities can be conducted anywhere—outdoors, in public areas, indoors, in public spaces, at the homes of our representatives and members, and even in the homes of residents—in an orderly, organized, safe, authorized manner, and always fully documented on our platforms.
How do the various activities take place?
In the freest and most democratic way possible, with all our official members, who are truly protagonists.
Why is an annual fee required?
To make a direct and concrete contribution, based on our means, to the true financial independence of DirectDemocracyS, which will allow us to operate our entire system perfectly, and to always remain free, neutral, resilient, debt-free, and without favors to return.
Why can only higher-level users vote and decide in shared leadership?
Because virtually everywhere in the world, in order to vote in real elections and choose the winner, you must first be identified. In DirectDemocracyS, only users with verified and guaranteed identities, and higher, can vote based on highly efficient voting rules and be an integral part of our truly and fully shared leadership, implementing authentic direct democracy and bottom-up control of all our hierarchies and all our activities. This voting method allows us to prevent multiple votes and profiles, and bots (infiltrated robots), and therefore allows anyone to express themselves in an informed manner (through groups of specialists), openly (no one should be ashamed of their decisions and preferences), and with reason (to understand the reasoning behind each decision), and with full individual and collective responsibility for all the consequences of their decisions (this aspect is virtually absent in every other system, where no one is to blame for anything). Each of our users can decide at any time to have their identity verified by our identity verification groups, and can get a blue checkmark next to their name in our social media area and on our websites, signifying that the user has a verified and guaranteed identity, making them more trustworthy. Everyone can see the benefits of this important rule: knowing who is breaking the rules, or who is an active user with concrete results, allows us to punish those who don't follow all the rules and reward the best, also based on the points accumulated by everyone who joins us.
Why can only official members carry out concrete activities?
Official members are users with verified and guaranteed identities, who in many cases have been with us longer and have a certain number of points. They contribute more to our system, through concrete activities and regular annual dues. Therefore, they become collective owners of our entire system, our entire political organization, all our platforms, and all our activities. As owners, they have access to numerous private, restricted areas, and therefore have exclusive information. They can activate various types of profiles, invisibly linked to their personal profiles. These linked profiles offer greater potential, and therefore grant access to certain areas, with even larger groups, and with even more reliable members, and always with increased security measures. Users below the level of official members do not have all these potentials and only have a personal profile (without other linked profiles), which is unique and mandatory for everyone. Therefore, they do not own our entire system.
Why do only micro-groups with at least 31 official members become official organizations?
All microgroups perform a wide range of activities and possess the same potential. When they reach at least 31 members (who have paid their annual dues and meet all our requirements), they become an official DirectDemocracyS organization in their urban and rural area. In practice, they can perform certain activities, unlock certain potential, and obtain numerous benefits and privileges. The official organization creates certain types of users within the group (which is no longer a microgroup), including a super administrator, five administrators, and at least 25 managers. Subsequently, all managers can invite five new official members each, for a total of 125 new managers, who in turn can invite five new members, for a total of 625 official representatives, who in turn can invite five new members each, for a potentially infinite number of group members. As we move up the ranks in geographical, territorial, administrative, and electoral areas (through the union of various official organizations), our local structures will be created, from the smallest to the largest. As you move into larger official organizations, starting with the smallest official organizations, you'll lose a certain type of user, moving up to the next level, until you're no longer able to access certain very large areas (national, continental, and international). For these reasons, it's always a good idea to create a micro-group, have at least 31 members, and obtain official organization status.
How do micro-groups differ from official organizations?
All of our official organizations must have at least 31 members at any given time, and are distinguished from microgroups by the blue check mark next to the microgroup name in our social area , and by the official nomination, which is a digitally signed .pdf file, on our dedicated electronic signatures website.
What are the main activities that can be carried out in micro-groups, and which are those that can be carried out in official organizations?
There are very detailed informational articles on the activities that can be carried out in microgroups and in our official organizations, reserved for their members. Microgroups allow for all the activities covered by our entire system, with a strong focus on local activities and the various decisions to be made for your urban or rural area. Our official organizations allow for the selection of our political representatives (in collaboration with our specialist groups), local election campaigns, closed online primaries (which allow participation in subsequent phases), and, most importantly, voting groups for various user types, implementing our electoral system, shared leadership, and property rights. Above all, each microgroup and each official organization allows everyone within it to be a true protagonist, allowing for complete freedom and authentic democracy. Another very important function is the information, support, and concrete assistance from all our members for those in their area who are not tech savvy or who are unfamiliar with our platforms.
By creating microgroups, isn't there a risk of losing potential users for DirectDemocracyS in their respective areas? Let's clarify the question: if there's a microgroup representing the area, what interest would other residents have in joining the system if they can vote conveniently in the streets, and official representatives can implement their decisions on the platforms?
None of us, and the entire DirectDemocracyS system, care what people decide to do, because for us, everyone should be free to make their own decisions and suffer all the consequences. Our system is the first in the world designed to unite, not divide, but above all, it was created to empower everyone to play an active role in their own destiny. Giving power to the entire world's population, without safety and protection measures, would have been futile and potentially dangerous. Much like a wild animal raised in captivity, if released into the wild, without the right knowledge and prevention measures, it would be unlikely to survive for long. In practice, without our platforms, without all our rules, methodologies, and instructions (all common-sense and well-founded), we would not achieve concrete results that benefit the entire population. If people want to be protagonists, they will have to join us, because without them, they would not have management, ownership, and complete control of their territories; we would be a system similar to a representative system. In short: if you want your interests protected, you must be present and actively involved, and not hope that others will pursue your own interests. Old, failed traditional systems have always shown us that the representative doesn't always act in the best interests of the entire community. For these reasons, we are convinced that everyone will want to join us . We trust in their intelligence, and that the majority of people will be able to choose the most appropriate, useful, and safe path possible.
To become our official member, depending on your age, you must pay €12.50 per year if you're under 31, and €25 per year if you're over 31. This fee doesn't just support the system: it gives you real rights of participation, decision-making, and representation. A small annual fee to ensure complete independence from external lobbies and financiers. You pay little, but you really matter.
Help and concessions for those who are financially limited.
For those with a gross monthly income of less than €1,000, the initial annual fees are valid for two years; for those with a gross monthly income of less than €500, the initial annual fees are valid for three years. For those with no source of income, the initial annual fees are valid for four years. Of course, we will verify all declarations, certifications, and documentation to prevent any attempted fraud. Those who offer you better conditions than ours will sooner or later ask for much more, or will be funded by lobbies, the rich, and famous, and you will never be free and truly independent. Therefore, in our opinion, the money you spend to join us is a small price to pay for so many services, benefits, and advantages.
Please note: The sums above are for our official members, who can, if they wish, become our political representatives and run as our political representatives in our closed online primaries. If they get enough votes, they can represent us in real elections in the various countries, or alternatively, they can become our official representatives (to manage our system).
Registered users, with verified and guaranteed identity, pay exactly half the rate of our official members. Depending on your age, you pay €6.25 per year if you're under 31, and €12.50 per year if you're over 31. Again, for those with a gross monthly income of less than €1,000, the initial annual fees are valid for two years; for those with a gross monthly income of less than €500, the initial annual fees are valid for three years. For those with no source of income, the initial annual fees are valid for four years. Of course, even in these cases, we will verify all declarations, certifications, and documentation to prevent any attempted fraud. All our registered users, with verified and guaranteed identities, can truly participate in our fully shared leadership, and can therefore vote for our decisions and in our closed online primary elections. However, they are not entitled to run as our political representatives (to do so, they must first become official members, and then apply for and obtain a political representative profile). They do not have much potential for managing our system (to unlock all this potential, they must become our official members, and then apply for and obtain an official representative profile).
Please note: The financial data is used exclusively to verify eligibility for aid and will never be disclosed.
Does everyone pay an annual fee? All types of users of the higher levels mentioned above pay an annual fee, and there are no exceptions.
All other user types below official members or registered users with verified and guaranteed identities—and there are many—are not eligible for any annual fee discount and cannot join microgroups. They are not entitled to discounts because, in order to verify their financial status, they must meet the primary requirement of a user type with a verified and guaranteed identity. They cannot join our microgroups unless they are official members, who are therefore collective owners of our entire system. To implement true and fully shared leadership, a voting group will be created for each microgroup, in which our registered users, with verified and guaranteed identities, will be able to vote separately from our official members and higher user types.
Approximately 33% of the annual dues will be used to reward our top users (official members and higher-tier users) in cash, various goods, and services, including based on points earned. Approximately 33% of all funds received will be used for security measures, 33% will be spent on developing our system and local phases, and 1% will be reserved to reward our creators, creators, and the team of guarantors.
Questions and answers about annual fees for microgroups.
Do those who pay an annual fee to create or join a microgroup also have to pay additional annual fees? No, each personal profile, which is unique to each person, pays only one annual fee. Therefore, an annual fee paid in one of our microgroups, or to create one, is valid, according to specific rules, anywhere in our system and on our platforms. If an official member has already paid the annual fee, and it is valid according to the above rules, they can create the microgroup directly in their urban or rural area without having to pay anything; they simply need to become our official representative. If an official member requests and obtains other types of profiles, such as a political representative, an official representative, or a system profile (to invest and do business with us), they will not pay any annual fee for all their profiles linked, even invisibly, to their personal profile.
How can annual fees be paid? Annual fees can be paid online through our membership payment. Payment will soon be possible via internal or external bank transfer. When appropriate, annual fees can be collected locally by our official representatives, according to specific rules. Never, for any reason, give cash or money through a bank transfer to any person or entity without first verifying whether they are authorized to collect annual fees, donations, advertising contracts, and other payments on our behalf. To verify authorization, please submit a contact form, detailing your situation, in any language, to our security team at this link:
https://contacts.directdemocracys.org/contacts/specials-groups/securities-groups/security
and only after receiving our response, if it confirms that everything is in order, will you be able to proceed with the payment.
How do I prove I have financial problems and deserve an annual fee, for multiple years, based on my income? To obtain assistance with annual fees or technology assistance, you must carefully read this informative article at this link:
https://free.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/all-our-rules/rules-for-help/help-people-in-difficulty
Can I pay annual fees for multiple years? Given the age restrictions (up to age 31, you pay half the rate), everyone is free to pay as many annual fees as they wish. When a year expires, the next annual fee kicks in, based on the previous rules.
Will I be blocked if my annual fee expires? Unfortunately, our system automatically blocks anyone who is not up to date with their membership and annual fee, even though we warn you well in advance, and several times, that your annual fee is about to expire, and you have plenty of time to pay it without being blocked. However, if you are blocked, simply pay, or make a donation, the amount of the annual fee, and then send the payment code and the required information (be sure to enter your real name and surname, your username, your DirectDemocracyS unique identifier, and your email address correctly, which must be identical to the email address you registered with) to this link:
If everything is in order, your personal profile will be immediately unlocked, unless there are disciplinary sanctions, or other reasons, for blocking your profile.
If I'm a registered user with a verified and guaranteed identity, or a lower user level, can I pay the difference and obtain an Official Member level? To obtain a higher level of user status (for example, Official Member), several requirements must be met, including having paid the annual fee of €25, or, if you're under 31, €12.50. After paying the annual fee for an Official Member, the lower level of user status is extended for an additional year, but the annual Official Member fee only comes into effect after the official nomination and the start of the new opportunities. At this point, many will ask: what happens with any unused annual fees paid for the lower level of user status? A few weeks or months are added, based on the sums of the remaining periods, as the validity period of the new Official Member annual fee. We don't steal a single cent from anyone; we never have, and we never will.
Likewise, if you downgrade to a lower user category (for disciplinary reasons) , the remaining period, and the remaining sums, are added, at the user's request, to the annual fee period for the lower user category.
Unfortunately, annual fees are not refunded, not even partially, but they can be used to pay for other annual fees, whether lower or higher, on your own.
If an official member obtains additional profile types (official representative, political representative, system representative, and other types of profiles), will they also have to pay annual fees for the other profiles? We repeat this so everyone is clear: no, each official member pays a single, personal annual fee, and all other profiles linked (invisibly to anyone) to their personal profile are active, completely free of charge, as long as their personal profile, the official member, is up to date with the annual fee. Obviously, the other profiles have specific, very detailed implementation rules that must be followed to ensure they are used to their full potential.
If a person has multiple profiles, linked to their personal profile, are they entitled to vote with each of them? Each type of profile has its own rules and different access areas in which one has the right to vote. Obviously, when referring to shared leadership voting and closed online primary elections, each person is entitled to only one vote, in their respective voting groups, according to very detailed implementing rules.
How are users with the best concrete results rewarded? They can receive points both individually and from groups they belong to, based on their behavior and declared, demonstrated, and verified activities. Rewards can be in the form of money, goods, services, and a variety of benefits and perks. There are many informative articles that explain in detail both the rules for points and how we reward our best users.
Finally, we want to remind you that annual dues are essential to our system, to make it function perfectly, and to ensure that it remains forever free, neutral, and independent, thanks to self-financing. They're small amounts compared to the services received, and when you consider the changes and improvements in everyone's lives. They're not a huge sacrifice, but they help us enormously, and by helping us, you also help yourselves, and everyone else in the world.
We pay not to be bought. If we don't pay for our house, some lobby will, and then the house will no longer be ours, but theirs. With 2 euros a month (or less), you ensure that no one can ever tell you what to think or how to vote. And 33% of that comes back to us if we're active. It's an investment, not an expense.
For those who believe that DirectDemocracyS does not invent anything new, that it is too simple a system, but also for those who tell us that we are too complicated, we must once again explain some fundamental concepts.
Our system has many features that make it unique, inimitable, credible, functional, fair, just, loyal, sincere, orderly, organized, resilient, and secure. Our attention to every tiny detail allows us to prevent any potential problems, to always be free, democratic, self-funded, independent, neutral, competent, and professional. Unfortunately, all our rules, methodologies, instructions, and motivations make us seem overly complicated to those who become discouraged and lack the patience to carefully study, with an open mind, all our public information, which is highly detailed but often repetitive. Because in DirectDemocracyS, everything we do, in a certain way, is connected to something else, and without a 360-degree view, we risk not understanding why we have made, are making, and will have to make certain choices in the past, present, and future.
But it is also a simple system with 4 brilliant and pioneering ideas and innovations, never before brought together in a single system.
For anyone with even a hint of insight, these four features alone brilliantly and definitively solve almost all the world's problems, making our system innovative and completely alternative to all others—certainly the best. The integration of all the necessary implementing rules allows us, all together, to create a mechanism that works perfectly, exactly the same way, both with the few initial users and potentially, over time , with the entire human population, and with all technological integrations.
Now let's talk about how legal some of our political activities are in certain countries, such as those where there is no mandate requirement, and therefore after the elections, a political representative can leave the political party with which he was elected.
In these cases, two analyses must be made: is it right to limit this ability to "change one's mind" to all political representatives, and therefore prohibit them from leaving the political party they were elected to, to join another political party, or to form their own political party, or to become independent? This freedom must be maintained and guaranteed for all! In old systems, potentially despicable situations often hide behind the guise of democratic, technically fair and just rules. Actual blackmail, internal and external struggles, and completely flawed activities often occur, almost always with hidden agendas. For us at DirectDemocracyS, the interests of the entire population always come first, and in our political organization, we take loyalty to the people we represent seriously. When a citizen votes in an election, choosing a person, they often also choose the political party to which they belong. If a political representative wishes to leave the political force that nominated and elected them, they should always be able to do so, but with the obligation to first resign from any political representative role, obtained through the people's vote. Otherwise, the relationship of trust between candidate and voter is undermined. To those who say, "You can do that in certain countries," we simply respond by saying that we, and anyone who joins us, have two security measures in place to prevent such behavior, which is a true betrayal. The first is an initial oath, taken by anyone who joins us, to respect all our rules. The second is a document of irrevocable early resignation for personal reasons, legalized and signed by each of our representatives (whether political, i.e., participants in primary elections, online, closed, or official, i.e., managers and controllers of our system).
If someone doesn't keep the initial oath—and many people try to cheat in other systems—in DirectDemocracyS, they must respect the second one, because they don't sign it after winning the real election, but rather before they can even participate in our closed, online primary elections, which are conducted as specified in our implementing rules. These resignations are available to their voters, on our platforms, which have complete management and control over their political representatives.
We are the only completely free system that implements authentic democracy, and we do so efficiently because we take seriously the roles of those who should hold all the power in a democracy (the people), and those who are merely representatives of the people in the various institutions. Before doing anything, each of our political representatives must ask permission from those who, with their vote in elections, granted them political representation in the various institutions. All our voters are continuously and comprehensively informed by groups of specialists to enable them to make informed and competent decisions. They are the protagonists, managers, and controllers of those who represent them in the structures of the state, at every level.
The irrevocable early resignation for personal reasons is an additional guarantee that voters will always be the ones to decide, as is right in a true democracy. Therefore, anyone who criticizes or seeks to obstruct this fundamental rule and methodology of ours should respect our decision, which is shared and the choice of free people who voted to perpetuate this true and continuous democracy.
There are countries where political representatives are not obligated to respect the will of their voters, but whoever is our candidate, if elected with our votes, will be obligated to respect this rule of ours, and all the others. In traditional political forces, promises are often made, which are not always fully kept. They do this to win elections, and then do what they please. With DirectDemocracyS, this is not allowed, and at the center are only the voters who command, and the political representatives who implement every decision of those who gave them the power of representation. In our system, power always remains with the people, and is not transferred for many years to political representatives, and their respective political forces. Democracy is not suspended, rendering the people powerless spectators for long periods of time; in DirectDemocracyS, power is shared, for the common good. We repeat this constantly so that everyone understands!
We're often asked: what if our registered users with verified and guaranteed identities (shared leadership) and our official members (collective owners) don't vote for our and their candidates (chosen in our closed online primaries) in the real elections? It would be foolish of them not to vote in the real elections for the people they choose to represent them politically in various institutions, but everyone is free to vote for whomever they choose, even if we hope there are very few who would prefer to vote for other political forces and other political representatives. It would certainly be a mistake on their part, a true inconsistency, a self-harm, but also a violation of their freedom.
Others ask: what if a superpower had a national president, and our voters, on our platforms, ordered a military strike, perhaps with nuclear warheads, would it be a disaster? It would be impossible because in DirectDemocracyS, any violent action is prohibited except for defensive purposes. Therefore, a direct, preemptive attack (of any kind) on another country would be impossible to vote for, and therefore impossible to order from our president. Ours is a peaceful system, which aims to implement mutual respect among all people. Many decisions by our users/voters require majorities based on the importance of the decisions to be made, with minimum quorums for approval. These vary, much like internal decisions and votes, where 50% + 1 vote is not always sufficient. We have groups to decide the various quorums for each of our votes, which all our official members can participate in.
We respond once again to those who fear that if we win elections everywhere, DirectDemocracyS would be a dictatorship of the majority over the minority. To all these people, we respond with a simple question: in all the world's democracies, in every country, who gets the votes needed to win, governs and makes the laws, for long years, without ever seeking binding advice from their voters (except for a few rare popular referendums)? We at least share power with anyone who joins us, and, very importantly, anyone who meets the requirements and respects our rules can join us, at any time, to share this enormous power with all of us, which will bring enormous collective responsibilities, which we will all assume. If everyone can join us, it is not a power reserved for a few, but a power shared with all.
If others win, govern, and make laws for many years, without ever asking anyone for anything, simply by obtaining 50% +1, everything is fine, and there is no dictatorship of the majority over the minority, but the only "problem" arises: when will we win? Let's also consider the fact that those who win often do so with massive abstentionism; in certain countries, in certain elections, even more than half of the voters don't show up to vote; therefore, the majority rightly depends only on the number of voters, and not on those entitled to vote. If we then consider that in certain countries there are coalitions that with 40% obtain majority bonuses, and govern and make laws for many years, obtaining less than 50% +1 (of actual voters), then there are "dictatorships" of minorities over majorities, and no one complains. But there are people who complain that DirectDemocracyS is a single, united political force that, if it wins, governs and makes laws alone, and if it loses the elections, it forms a healthy, honest, loyal, useful, reliable, and fair opposition. While other political forces form alliances, form coalitions, and collaborate together, we, precisely because we are united in diversity, have within us people of all political ideologies, who discuss and decide together, for the common good, based on free and democratic voting rules. We have no need for alliances, agreements, and coalitions, but at the right time, we will be able to welcome within our ranks not only political representatives from other political forces, but also entire traditional political forces who wish to join our system. We will never eliminate freedom and democracy; we will protect political pluralism and all opposition, including to ourselves.
In DirectDemocracyS the people do not delegate power:
he exercises it, monitors it and takes responsibility for it, every day.
One of the most serious problems of modern society is the lack of trustworthiness of many people, and the difficulty with which we all discover who we can trust.
If we look at the various systems, including ours recently, you have all the proof and guarantees you need to know not only which is the best, fair, secure, and honest, but also, and above all, the most reliable. DirectDemocracyS has never lied to you, manipulated you, or misinformed you. We have always been consistent and have kept every promise we made, never disappointing you. The proof is that there isn't a single negative review about us or our system. Don't worry, sooner or later, those who can't stand us, those who hate us, and especially those who fear us, will publish countless negative reviews and try to spread false information about us. We ask everyone to report every single post, message, and activity that says or insinuates anything negative about our system or anyone involved, so that all perpetrators can be immediately reported to the appropriate authorities, and we can explain the truth.
At this point, some will tell us: you are too strict, too careful about those who defame you, you are exaggerating, and above all you will teach us that it is often better to ignore those who boycott us, those who defame us, and those who try to slow us down, or stop us.
In this case, we disagree with those who claim they are superior and ignore these reprehensible behaviors. The reason is simple: DirectDemocracyS as a system was designed to be fair, equitable, professional, secure, reliable, and always honest; therefore, it is innocent of any unjust acts, both historically and currently. In essence, we are not to blame for the previous situation or for the current one, but we will assume full responsibility for everything we decide together and for everything we do, where we have the opportunity to govern and make laws. Whoever is part of DirectDemocracyS individually, or in our groups, or as a whole, our extended family, we have demonstrated courage, intelligence, and determination, creating the system and working within it for the common good. If we were previously complicit or passive and helpless spectators of all the other systems, after joining DirectDemocracyS, we have demonstrated our goodwill, becoming protagonists of our own destinies together. Therefore, we are no longer partly guilty and responsible for our past, but we are responsible for the present and the future, where we will be active and decisive. We repeat this in various phrases, and will repeat it always, to prevent foolish and meaningless statements like: "Where were you while others were doing things that were almost always wrong, with often disastrous consequences for so many people? Why did you allow certain situations to happen?"
Since we are not to blame, because DirectDemocracyS did not exist, or was not decisive, we want to maintain this “purity” not only of responsibility, but also ideological, social, and “strategic”.
When our political representatives participate in real elections and win, we will first analyze in detail all the situations preceding our victory, identifying all those responsible, and we will assume full responsibility (shared with our voters, who will be our guides and monitors) for everything we decided or did together. At the end of our political representation activities, we will reassess everything to see what has changed and improved, what has not changed or improved, and we will apologize, admitting any possible mistakes, without futile justifications, but admitting our own faults. Obviously, we hope to change and improve everyone's lives, and to avoid making mistakes, but if that happens, we won't do as everyone else does.
For these reasons, we cannot allow anyone to say false things about us, and we must fight with all our might to defend our system and everyone in it from every lie, every negative review, every conspiracy, every theory, every conspiracy, whether false, undocumented by reliable sources, and always verified. This defense is essential, if you reread all the previous sentences, to defend our honor.
Freedom of thought, speech, writing, and all other freedoms are sacred to us. Everyone can express their own ideas, provided they are true, documented, proven, and tested. There is not and must not be the freedom to lie, defame, or manipulate a system or anyone within it with falsehoods, solely for private gain. Throughout human history, and even more so with modern technology, everyone is free to express their opinion, even by lying, defaming, and manipulating. But with us, please have overwhelming evidence from reliable, well-documented sources before doing so, because we will not hesitate to report anyone who does so in an attempt to harm us.
But why don't other systems, and all other political forces, do the same? Simply because almost all of them have made so many serious mistakes, with negative consequences for many people, or have served the interests of a few against the interests of many. Almost all of them have promised without keeping their promises, have often lied, cheated, stolen, injured, sometimes killed, and many of them have not respected all the laws. Perhaps some of them have no honor to defend, or have become accustomed, in many cases, to falsehoods, and waste no time proving their point to anyone.
We invite anyone, inside or outside of us, to report any video, audio, article, post, comment, or message that speaks badly of us or any of our members, and we will analyze and explain the truth. If we are guilty in any way, we will admit our guilt, apologize, and commit to correcting all our mistakes, if possible. If we are innocent, we will defend our honor.

At DirectDemocracyS, any criticism is legitimate, as long as it is honest, verifiable, and made in good faith.
Deliberate lying and defamation are not opinions: they are abuses.
In all our informative articles, videos, audio, posts, and other means of communication, we have always clearly explained our views, and we take full responsibility for everything we have disseminated. Unlike others, we have chosen from the beginning to base our work solely on real, scientifically proven facts, supported by our teams of specialists and experts. Unlike other communities, in DirectDemocracyS, each person speaks, writes, and discusses only what they know perfectly well, either because they teach it, work with it, have studied it, taught it, or have worked with it. We have no amateurs who, without the proper expertise, inform, discuss, or spread lies, theories, conspiracies, and other falsehoods. From the very beginning, we have chosen to be professional and scientifically impeccable, even at the risk of losing many uninformed and incompetent people, who, however, have "personal convictions" based on nothing but the desire to "think" differently. We don't exclude those with alternative theories; in fact, every idea, thought, and project, even if it differs from reality, could theoretically be useful, and will be studied by like-minded people. In fact, we have various groups in our free social areas, where anyone can discuss anything, a bit like on traditional social networks, where almost everyone thinks they're an expert on any topic, resulting in many unfortunate incidents.
A system like ours cannot and must not disseminate nonsensical theories, but only what is documented, verified, and concrete. This isn't a lack of imagination, but rather everyone's real need to know the truth based on reality, with reliable, human (and in the future technological, with human management and verification), and competent experts.
In some very rare cases, however, we have responded to nonsensical theories with other (perhaps more plausible) theories. One example was when we discussed some people who were convinced that COVID-19 had never existed. Some of these skeptics, who were certainly not virologists, admitted that a virus existed, but that it had been spread by various "lobbies" to reduce the world's population. Then, with the development of vaccines (especially RNA vaccines), it was said that anyone vaccinated would die "shortly" because certain "lobbies" had decided to use these vaccines to exterminate large numbers of people. We simply wrote, specifying that this was just a theory: if the "system represented by these lobbies " wants to kill people because "there are too many of us on earth," what interest would it have in exterminating "the sheep that follow the flock" and those who respect health regulations. They would have had every interest in eliminating those who don't follow their directives, those who think "alternatively," using "their own mind" (or that of someone who enjoys making fun of you). Therefore, according to our "not entirely documented theory," if vaccines had been created "only to save those who can be manipulated," leaving the "intelligent people who talk about things they don't know" to die. The "lobbies and the system" would have no interest in "killing" those who don't cause problems and respect decisions, but would instead have more advantages in "eliminating" those who know all the "truths," simply by thinking them without knowing them at all. If their "theory" is nevertheless "respectable and possible," ours is certainly more plausible and more useful to the respective "masters of the world."
Expertise and analytical skills aren't based on theories, but on concrete facts. To declare certain things and think differently, you need to have studied, because a lie is shared by multiple people; it doesn't become true just because a few incompetent people confirm it's true. And to think that there are people who gain consensus and approval based on manipulation, envy, and social hatred, and by telling people whatever they want. We've chosen a different, and certainly better, path: always telling the truth, whether pleasant or unpleasant, without possible interpretations. Everything we disclose is so clear and direct that no one can create theories, plots, conspiracies, or fake news about us without becoming ridiculous and completely losing credibility. And let's be clear: aren't you tired of people, political forces, and entire systems telling you these things without telling you practically anything, exploiting the incompetence, laziness, and superficiality of those who trust anyone who confirms their ideas?

We are often asked to summarize our entire system in a few words, and although it is impossible to summarize DirectDemocracyS in a few sentences, we want to try.
