4. The idea is that we evolve to a democracy

in which people actually own the means of production. In terms of elections it seems that we should be able to use our advanced technology to ensure one person, one vote. I don't know that representative democracy makes sense anymore (especially if the representatives are hell bent on representing corporations rather than people). As David Swanson always says "Let's try democracy".

ETA - just in case there are folks who haven't come across Swanson. He used to post on DU but I haven't seen him here in ages. Here's one of his websites: http://davidswanson.org/
