..that representative democracy is doomed.

Or actually that it never really worked, and is most definitely obsolete.

Contrived in the days of whale oil and buggy whips, representative democracy has long exceeded its utility.

I look forward to the day when the incorporated state is replaced by a robot, and our planet is all watched over by machines of loving grace...

And global money is called "Joy".

"Hey, can you spare me some joy?"
