الديمقراطية التشاركية

American political scientists teach that participatory democracy is the province of the distant past, a relic of ancient Greece or New England town meetings, but Asian uprisings at the end of the twentieth century provide contemporary proof of its existence. Modern forms of participatory democracy embody humanity returning to our natural inclinations for equality and consensus. Social uprisings since 1968 involve activated democracy, not a passive and much-abused representative system of choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. They remind us that human beings remain capable of changing the planetary structures that condemn millions of people to living hell at the periphery of the world system
