You are obviously giving a lot of thought to the structural problems of society and you are dead on with the potential of the internet.

Carl Jung once said that he was suspicious of people who dressed radically, because his ideas were so radical that he dressed as conservatively as possible so as to not make his ideas appear even more so. Incorporated Democracy is so transformative in my mind that I am trying to make it look as main stream, pro-business (democratic that is), and mom and apple pie as possible. And it is pro-corporate, unlike most progressive thought now days. Just as you cannot disparage government because there are monarchies, so too I believe that the corporate structure could be put to use to bring people together and provide a community based method of "hunting" our economic sustenance. I firmly believe that democratized corporations will no longer "colonialize" people, resources, and the natural bounty of the earth (or to a very lesser degree) and that the problem from which all these myriad symptoms derive is concentrated unaccountable, undemocratic, economic might. I don't believe that money is slavery, I believe it can be used to enslave, or liberate. It is a neutral medium that we imbue with good, or evil.

The Declaration of Interdependence was ratified on 7/7/7 by common patriots, all of whom I count as friends. We are trying to form a Policorp on the Western Slope of the High Sierra. A radically resource efficient (liberated) community of 10,000 people all of whom will be engaged in full throated democratic capitalism. We are struggling with how to aggregate capital in order to move the Policorp forward. First of all we need to organize colonies of citizens in the Northern California, Northern Nevada area who want to become a part of this evolution and are ready to tax themselves small amounts of money (their Starbuck's funds) and to begin organizing economically, politically, and socially to move the Nisenan Valley Group forward (Nisenan is our area's first people's name for themselves, which means "of us").

Our area colleges are a invaluable resource for the Evolution (I am firmly an evolutionary, not a revolutionary, as revolution is to me about tearing down and usually not having something as complex to replace it with, whereas evolution is about making the changes necessary to move forward in a better way -- although evolution needs the fervor and passion of revolution and is as urgent). The pamphlet would be used to organize and fund raise on area campuses and other locations and to draw people to dialectics on democracy. Most progressive movements start at colleges.
