Any ideology that proposes deliberately making peoples lives worse is not worth discussing.

If I’m playing devils avocado I guess rapid technological and economic growth gives us more value to appropriate in the name of the proletariat?

I am absolutely on the same page as you. I really don’t think the system we have in the liberal representative ‘democracies’ deserve the title democracy, nor can democracy exist meaningfully at that scale.

Local politics, local direct action, and volunteering are always a step towards a better future, but that isn’t enough without the structural changes you advocate.

I think that confederal municipalism is viable in the sense that, if set up correctly, it can work. Convincing more cetralised authorities to cede power is where it becomes difficult.
