Why a new system

Citizen control over all institutions, over the State, like bottom-up democracy, cannot be implemented in traditional systems, and is not even included in the respective Constitutions and Laws.

Even in countries like Switzerland and other places, where there is a fake, partial, limited and controlled “direct democracy,” all these things are not put into practice.

Unfortunately for all other systems (traditional, innovative, and future), there isn't, and never will be, a method with better rules than DirectDemocracyS, and anyone who tries to create something similar either copies us entirely, in which case they're criminals, or joins us and works concretely to change and improve the world. The alternative is to continue protesting in vain, or to remain completely irrelevant in the old, traditional systems.

Deciding to create a new, innovative system from scratch, we rewrote all the rules, tailoring them to prevent any potential problem. This was achieved by establishing, from the outset, a group to forecast the effects of our decisions, first at the global (international) level, then at the continental and national levels. We are currently establishing and implementing these groups at the state (for federal states), regional, provincial, and local levels. These forecasting groups evaluated every detail and developed recommendations to optimally resolve any potential problem, using the best possible method: prevention. Creating fair, equitable, and meritocratic rules wasn't enough; they had to be made foolproof. For this reason, we undertook a long, hard, slow, complicated, but excellent job.

It's not just about being more fair and just, or even about having brilliant and pioneering ideas in every sector. It's about having the right people to do it, and all the potential needed to achieve the best results. In essence, we're not just "nice to look at," we're the only ones capable of achieving concrete results, and then sustaining them forever, for the common good. We could write many informative articles here about the right people in the right places, communication styles and efficient work, and unique and inimitable technologies and methodologies.

DirectDemocracyS is morphologically and definitively made to protect all freedoms, and to put into practice the only, complete, and authentic democracy: direct democracy.

We always say it: in any other system, anyone who wanted to practice true democracy would find themselves at the mercy of uncontrollable events, which only we can manage, thanks to very detailed rules, respected by everyone.

Complete power to the people, as desired by certain political forces and groups, might seem just and fair only ideologically and apparently. In reality, the damage would be extremely serious. The main problems are many; we'll mention a few.

In the old systems, and in all those different from ours, there is no protection for citizens and their freedoms. The lobbies that have always controlled the world, even managing all traditional politics, would continue to do so, not by corrupting and managing only the winning politics (alternating corruption and control of various majorities), but by influencing, manipulating, and truly brainwashing the majority of the population that follows politics. Not the entire population (because not everyone is easily corrupted and manipulated), but only a small portion, as we will see in the following example. All other systems find every means to control, and by directly controlling 50% + 1 of those who vote (often less than 50%), they would have the legitimacy to make decisions and could not be challenged. Doing a quick calculation, with complete control over just over 25% of voters, none of the remaining 75% of the population could challenge their decisions. Not to mention countries with a majority bonus, where often 40% of the 50% who vote govern and make the laws; therefore, less than 20% would decide, out of more than 80%. This is the democracy of the majority over the minority, and no one can deny it.

DirectDemocracyS, as a system and as a political organization, was designed to prevent such situations. First, by making lobbyists inaccessible, thanks to self-funding (through annual dues, donations, and advertising contracts) and the exclusive use of our platforms (which we jointly own), which allows us to operate freely, independently, neutrally, and securely. Our voting rules, our truly and completely shared leadership, the ownership of the entire system by all our official members, and many other preventive measures prevent the control of the few over the many. We have created the difficult but perfect balance between internal, bottom-up democracy—always implemented, respecting traditional hierarchies, on a basis of equality, always guaranteed over time for all—along with meritocracy. In short: despite appearing to be a closed system, with some initially superficially comparing us to a dangerous and secretive sect, we allow anyone who asks and meets the requirements to join us. For those who aren't competent and suitable, we don't deny membership, but we delay the activation of their personal profile until people like them can join us without causing any problems. This isn't discrimination, but rather we protect the entire system from potentially dangerous, unsuitable, and incompetent individuals. We repeat: we delay, we don't exclude anyone.

Then there's the example of the influencer, which we've explained several times.

Let us explain: an influencer on traditional social networks, with millions of followers, could easily democratically seize control of entire countries, determine election results according to their will, influencing the results of popular referendums, and even force the resignation of competent political representatives to favor their favorites. We will never allow popular elections to force the resignation of our political representatives, duly voted for and elected by our users/voters. Instead, we require them to sign an official, legalized document, in which they irrevocably resign from any political representative role, for personal reasons. In this way, their voters, if they so decide according to our rules and with our methodologies, will be able to force them to resign if they fail to comply with their obligations and the decisions of their constituents, before, during, and for the first and only time in the world, even after the elections. We don't need to change the laws for everyone; to do so, those who join us know they must do so, and are obligated to abide by all our rules. No one can stop us from acting this way, as it is our free, shared decision.

DirectDemocracyS works exclusively on its own platforms and has created rules, methodologies, and instructions that prevent a few individuals and groups from wielding too much power. We've also created a complex but highly intelligent voting system, with variable percentages and quorums based on the importance of the decision, and discussion methods that prevent manipulation. We avoid simple majority dictatorships for important issues.

We have effectively and definitively resolved the worst flaw of grassroots and direct democracy: the population's incompetence on various issues. If decisions are not properly and fully informed, presenting all the various possibilities, with all the foreseeable consequences for each, a voter cannot make decisions that serve the common good. We will end up with incorrect decisions, made superficially, that would cause even more harm than the various old traditional systems. We have created hundreds, and soon thousands, of expert groups, with declared, demonstrated, and verified expertise, who support all our groups and all our users with free, independent, neutral, competent, and continuously verified and tested information. Since they are composed of all our official members, based on their specializations, these expert groups allow us to make useful choices for the good of all.

Our progressive security measures make our system impervious to attack, both internally and externally. Protecting all our users, in every way, is essential to working in an orderly, organized, and secure manner. It's not enough to create a better system; we must protect everyone within it, including those outside of it, all groups, all activities, and all related data. Without these protections, complete freedom and true democracy would be impossible.

The people who have joined us over time, those who are joining us, and those who will join us, are all empowered to express their full potential.

The rules that many consider rigid are essential, because, when respected by all, they prevent us from having crooks exploiting the system for undeserved advantages and benefits. We do not permit unethical and morally incorrect activities by individuals and groups, because we always put the well-being and interests of the entire world's population first, without discrimination or preference.

There are many other topics to discuss, and many things that have been said, that need to be explored and explained further. We will do so at the appropriate time.
