Each user's groups

Before telling you about our user groups, we'd like to explain some of our motivations for working this way. Very often, those who read our information view some of our explanations as an attempt to put us on the defensive; others, fortunately very few, believe we're trying to appear better than we are; and some, whom we won't define in any way, to avoid sounding vulgar, tell us that, like almost everyone else, we're trying to manipulate and simply spread propaganda to convince as many people as possible to join us. Our public information is all published after the collective work of various groups, and everything we say is the truth and reality, verifiable by anyone, even by simply creating a free personal profile. Therefore, it doesn't require any annual fee, there's no obligation to be present, and there's no need to volunteer to operate our mechanism. Many things are better understood from the inside than from the outside.

Get used to the fact that, as in any system, our political organization, in order to win elections and to be able to make laws and govern in the interests and for the good of the entire world population, making everyone a protagonist, needs votes, which are obtained in elections thanks to the consensus gained by the people. Unlike everyone else, however, we don't need to declare ourselves on the right side, we don't have to lie (we just tell the truth), we don't have to convince anyone (anyone who thinks for a few minutes understands the enormous difference and our infinite potential), we don't have to try to convince anyone (because our system is explained in a fairly simple and short initial informative article; the rest are rules, methodologies, instructions, and motivations that make everything work as smoothly as possible), and all this because we all always use logic, common sense, truth, reality, study, and mutual respect, which make us unique and inimitable, different and better than everyone else (with concrete data that no one can deny, and verifiable by anyone). In short, we simply need to explain how we communicate, how we collaborate, how we work, and how we decide, to create the best propaganda in the world, with concrete facts.

What is certainly one of our strong points is teamwork, which has never been implemented in this way in the history of humanity, and never with such results.

But let's begin explaining this concept with a fundamental question, which answers a very simple one: why do we implement such rules, and everyone else, and those who come after us, never will? It's because of selfishness, greed, and everyone's need to have fame, wealth, and power for themselves, their loved ones, and their relatives, friends, and acquaintances. What may seem like an act of justice (wanting to live better) and generosity (doing it for yourself, but also for relatives, friends, and acquaintances) is actually the downfall of all other systems, because, for example (and there are countless examples), to share with a few, you must necessarily take from many, and even those who seem most "generous" actually don't hesitate to create a false community, but only for a few groups, and for a few lobbies, to the detriment of everyone else. The brilliance of our system, along with many of our strengths, is its collective nature, implemented through our shared, real, and concrete leadership; the collective ownership of all our official members, who receive a single, non-cumulative and non-transferable individual share; and our teamwork. From the moment one of our five original creators proposed creating a similar system, innovative and alternative to everything that existed and will exist after us, based on justice and equity, always combined with meritocracy, it has always been a team effort, which then evolved into a group effort—but not by groups of power and privileged individuals, but always remaining collective, coordinated, orderly, secure, and perfectly organized. Only a very few people fail to understand the enormous potential and enormous benefits, including social benefits, of such a system. If you compare DirectDemocracyS with all the systems of the past, present, and future, you will never find anyone better than us in terms of consistency, reliability, and system architecture. In practice, we apply detailed rules to craft every word, every sentence, every public article, and all those—and there are hundreds—not yet published. Shared decisions, collective ownership, and potentially infinite individual and group freedom, which ends only where the freedom of another person or group begins; authentic, direct democracy, with complete management and continuous control by our voters over our political representatives, before, during, and, for the first time in the world, even after elections—all this is integrated with unique and truly inimitable rules and methodologies. We've already talked about this, but we like to repeat certain concepts, not out of presumption or vanity, but because in DirectDemocracyS, every word of every sentence connects perfectly with every other, and without an overview, it's impossible to grasp all the various connections. Without long and repetitive introductions, it's impossible to understand our motivations, which are never banal or useless.

We've discussed many types of groups, and today we'll tell you about the groups of each of our users, which are essential to making our system function perfectly. But first, let's define the word group. In traditional systems, there's a single individual who rules over everyone. In virtually all other systems, which are pyramidal, vertical, always top-down, and fail because they only generate debt (because they spend public money poorly, with enormous waste, to give gifts to a few, while then making many pay), power is "diluted" and diminished based on the individual's role on the social ladder. The highest rung gets everything, and those who "hold the whole ladder" have no chance. We'd like to give you a simple example to make everyone understand the reality: privatization. This seemingly fair and equitable method is actually one of the most despicable and unfair things. In short, in some countries, it was decided that to implement competition (which in theory should lead to more affordable prices and therefore benefits for everyone), many public companies had to be privatized, opening them up to private capital. Initially, things were indeed better; prices had dropped slightly. But let's ask you a few questions: who could afford to buy large stakes and shares in these companies? Only the rich and those who rightfully held the necessary money, leaving the poor, and even the middle class, insignificant stakes and percentages. And whoever holds the majority decides on all the managers, and therefore, decides the various strategies. By deciding various things, the value of the shares increased, and the rich could sell and make a profit, and at the same time they were always allowed to fall. And while the poor sold to avoid losing too much, the rich, having already made a profit, bought back very cheaply, and repeated, and will repeat, this method ad infinitum. Some will tell us that these are the laws of the market and that it has always been this way, and that is precisely the point. If laws aren't fair and equitable, they need to be changed, in the interest of the entire community. But then the prices that seemed better with privatization, with the creation of lobbies, corporations, and market dominance, continued to rise, despite the apparent "competition and competition" that these privatizations initially brought to the poor. A bit like the reward given to animals that diligently and without protest carry out the actions required by their supervisors. Not to mention privatizations in certain countries, which have literally destroyed the finances and economies of entire countries, without creating anything in return. They bought, privatized, bankrupted, and eliminated competition. As always, a few profit, and many, many forgive almost everything. Then prices rise, justifying everything with various types of crises. Have you ever seen, when crises end, prices remain practically unchanged, since people have already become accustomed to these prices, so why should they go down? Even if the "crisis" is over, another will soon begin, and guess who will suffer the most? With Covid-19, pharmaceutical companies have earned enormous sums; with the various wars, companies that produce and market weapons have earned enormous sums; with the destruction and reconstruction, companies in the sector will earn enormous sums; practically all the usual rich, powerful, and famous profit from deaths, injuries, destruction, and fear, suffered especially by the lower middle classes. These are not conspiracies, but undeniable facts. Let's talk about prices again. The historic lows in the price of oil are linked to major global crises of overcapacity , both in the recent past and in previous decades.

Periods when oil prices were at their lowest ever:

1. The collapse of COVID-19 (April 2020)

The lowest point in recent history occurred during the global pandemic lockdowns. Due to the total halt in transportation and the saturation of storage facilities:

• WTI oil dropped below zero: On April 20, 2020, the price of WTI hit an all-time low of -$37.63 per barrel (sellers paid buyers to take delivery).
• Brent crude fell to a low of around $15-19 a barrel in the same month .

2. The years preceding the Ukrainian crisis (2021)

Before the rally that preceded the Russian invasion, in January 2021 , Brent was trading at a much lower average of around $54.77 a barrel , as the global economy was just beginning to recover from the shutdowns.

The historical lows of the past

Going further back in time, the lowest nominal prices (not adjusted for inflation) in the last 40 years occurred during two specific crises:

Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine (which occurred on February 24, 2022), oil prices averaged between $90 and $97 per barrel for Brent and around $86–$92 per barrel for WTI (West Texas Intermediate).

• January 2022: Brent averaged around $89-90 a barrel.
• February 2022 (before 24): The average price of Brent had risen to around $97.13 a barrel , driven by growing geopolitical tensions on the Ukrainian border, while WTI was hovering around $86-90 .
• Immediately after the invasion (February 24, 2022): Brent quickly broke above $100-$105 a barrel (reaching peaks of over $118-$127 in the following weeks).

With the recent crisis and the conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran that broke out at the end of February 2026, oil prices have undergone huge fluctuations mainly due to strategic blockages in the Strait of Hormuz , a key channel through which approximately 20% of the world's crude oil passes.

The price trend has seen very marked alternating phases:

• Initial phase of the attack and peaks (March–May 2026): Following the military incursions and the progressive closure of the Strait, prices soared due to fears about global supplies. Crude oil reached and surpassed the critical threshold of $100–$108 a barrel .
• The June Crash (Fake Truce): By mid-June 2026, the illusion of a peace agreement (a Memorandum that later proved null and void) and the temporary reopening of Hormuz had caused a 5% drop. Brent had rapidly fallen to around $83 a barrel and WTI to $80 , almost returning to pre-conflict levels.
• The new escalation (Autumn 2026): With the collapse of the agreement, the resumption of fighting, and the spread of tensions to the Red Sea via the Houthis, the market repriced risk. Prices returned to a stable rise above $100 a barrel (with Brent trading at around $103.91 and WTI above $91-92 in early October).

In short, unlike the historical lows of the past driven by oversupply, this crisis has caused a sharp increase and keeps prices steadily high and volatile due to geopolitical instability in the Middle East.

With all this data, one thing is certain: even at the end of a crisis, prices don't fall at logical rates, but at those imposed by a globalized and selfish market, and guess who always loses? And as soon as one crisis ends, those with the power and the means immediately create another, or even multiple crises simultaneously, always to make a profit for a few, and always the same people.

And what would our solutions be? It's very simple to change and improve the rules, all the rules. Certainly not by violating private property; no one will lose money and assets if wealth is obtained in ethically and morally correct ways, respecting all laws, respecting workers, and respecting our planet. First, we must spend efficiently, without waste, tax income in a truly progressive manner, make everyone pay for everything, everywhere, at exactly the same rate, at the same percentages, without tax havens, and precisely, geographically, where the revenues originate. This will prevent delocalization and job losses. Eliminating bureaucracy, crime, and all forms of corruption. Eliminating and resolving all the various crises, intelligently and efficiently preventing all future ones. And many other radical, courageous, but just and fair proposals.

Many people will ask: what does all this have to do with user groups in DirectDemocracyS? These groups, while fully respecting individual freedoms, allow each of our users, regardless of their type, to have one or more such groups, with dedicated, private, and even public presentation pages, events, and all the capabilities needed to do excellent work. These groups prevent impulsive, hasty decisions and prevent many potential errors. In DirectDemocracyS, these groups are created, managed, and controlled according to very detailed, yet simple and secure, implementation rules. We believe that two or more people are more attentive and can share roles and responsibilities, resulting in better and more comprehensive work. For these reasons, while traditional hierarchies exist, they are all entirely merit-based. Merit, with equal rules for everyone, is demonstrated concretely in DirectDemocracyS through the points accumulated by each person, the groups they belong to, and the length of time they have been active in our system. Those with the most points and who have been with us the longest demonstrate concretely their worthy roles of greater importance and responsibility, but that doesn't prevent anyone who joins us, at any time, from demonstrating their value, their skills, and their merits. If our methods and rules were applied worldwide, there would certainly be fewer problems, because the entire population would be in charge and therefore making decisions, not just a few leaders, often with private interests.

Of course, implementing our system requires a lot of hard work, a lot of patience, a lot of determination, and a change and improvement in everyone's mentality. It won't be easy, but we will do it for our own good, and for the good of all future generations.

We have written and will continue to write numerous informative articles about our groups, of various types and in countless categories, explaining that anyone who wishes and meets all the requirements can become an official member. This, along with their personal group (with people individually selected or added at their request by our member-search teams for individual groups), can join many other groups, where everyone is a key player. This meritocracy of ours, always united and guaranteed for all, along with equality, makes our system different and better. We have no need to lie or attempt to manipulate—in fact, it would be counterproductive for us—because DirectDemocracyS, to make the best choices, needs not a few top leaders, but intelligent and competent users who can manage and control. These leaders will inevitably always make the right choice, that of our collective human intelligence, which, integrated with the best technologies, will help us be useful to everyone, even those who fear us, who don't understand us, and even those who can't stand us. For us, the common good belongs to everyone, whether they are within our system, and therefore protagonists, or outside, as spectators. This, too, makes us different and better: the fact that we give everyone the same opportunities, and don't relegate them to perpetually remaining helpless and passive spectators, as almost everyone is, in all other systems.
