So, last time, I formulated the philosophical groundwork of the ideology. And now, this is part 2 of the ideology, that is how to practice it. You will find stuff like the structure of democracy, how to make decisions in a democracy. The transition towards a democracy, basically the application of democracy. Anyway, let's begin shall we?
Decision Making
As implied multiple times in the first part of this dual log, we are going to use discussion, instead of voting. Since I have discussed the advantages of discussion over voting, I won't discuss about it further. We will move on how discussion works. Discussion is the exchange and integration of ideas originated from a group of people, well that's the technical language. But in daily speak, discussion happens when a group of people gathered, and began talking. Not only talking, but a certain topic or issue is brought on the table. The members of said discussion will begin to express their own formulated opinions on the issue. Once all members have expressed their ideas, they will then begin to discuss to find a solution that can satisfy and fulfill the needs of everyone. This is done by collectively using logic to make a conclusion based on all available premises. But I haven't finished the logic writing as I am writing this.
Structure of a Democracy
Now, as the People functions both as the workforce as well as the State, everyone is involved in both labor and decision making. As we know, decision making exists in 3 forms in a nation, legislation, that is decision making in regulating the nation, what is allowed and what is not allowed, executive, in this version being decision making in labor, and judicial, decision making in the overseeing of regulations.
The legislative body is the body that functions as the law maker, they make laws and they can also decide whether to repeal laws they deem to be unfit in the modern society, or make new laws to fit in the modern society. In a democracy, this is how I view it should be structured. A nation is divided into smaller administrative regions and these regions can be broken down even further. We'll use Indonesia as an example, there are at least 8 divisions, starting from the smallest legislative body that is a family or a household. Unmarried people, if they live alone represent themselves, but if they live with someone else, then they represent the other people they live with as well.
Say in a democracy, an issue was presented. All households will begin to discuss on how to solve the issue, they then discuss on who should be their representative. Their representative is then sent to a higher administrative region for more discussion. This will be repeated until the national level, where representatives of their respective regions discuss on how to solve the issue and to find a solution that can satisfy and fulfill the needs of the entire nation.
Democracy is to be enforced in all sectors, including the economic sector. The economic sector is composed of syndicates, syndicates are groups of people working together in a democratic manner to create goods and services for the general public. Unlike companies, their purpose is to fulfill the needs of the People and not gain profits. Unlike companies as well, they have no hierarchy, as they all discuss together to decide what to do and so on. The structure is quite similar to the democracy in the nation, but that is for another time. All syndicates work together to fulfill the needs of the People, as a result they do not compete, rather they cooperate with each other to reach the same purpose. I will write a log about this, it's socialism, by the way.
Some people might wonder how education, research, military, and the police force operate. It's quite simple, it is still a democracy with teacher unions, military unions, and so on. Is there a headmaster or something in schools? Usually there is, as a guide and also a leader. And it's quite similar on the other areas. But what about national leadership? Is there a president or something that acts as a leader for international diplomacy or something perhaps? Yes there is, and it is usually someone who stands out from all others and has good leadership skills. They are elected by the legislative body, which actually functions as the main governing body of the nation, composed of the People.
The Judicial division works in a similar fashion. Usually a jury overseen by a judge declares the verdict, while the prosecution and the defense debate each other to convince the jury and the judge on whether the suspect is guilty or innocent. Both the prosecution and the defense is usually a pair or a group of three, never more, rarely less. They both search for evidence cooperating with the police. Since the final verdict is decided by the jury and the judge, it is possible for the prosecution to have cornered the defense, but the suspect to still go free. As they may present, reasonable doubt.
While all citizens will instantly be a part of the legislative body, but to join the security forces, military, education, syndicates, judicial division and so on, they must enroll in education that specializes them. Education is a right in a democracy, and children are taught the values of democracy, and other than teaching them science and other stuff, they are also taught on how to practice democracy and so forth. This is using discussion and stuff. Upon middle school, students are allowed to form the student councils. More on that on another writing.
Closing
This is all for now, but I will write more about democracy in education, in the military, the police force, the medical section, and so forth and so on. I will also write about socialism, and the ideas behind it, as democracy, while being a part of socialism, but socialism has other elements that conjoins the idea of democracy, and caring. But for now, that is all, if you have any critiques, suggestions, and compliments, do write a comment or two. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed, have a nice day!
