Characteristics:

  • Desire for direct representation of the people. Except some people shouldn't count. Notion that fascism is direct democracy, but in a direct democracy everyone should count. Still does not address the fault of democracy, or mob rule, which has the seeds of its own destruction.
  • Divine right - as opposed to responsibility. Certainly a popular theme.

Solutions:

  • Moral Intelligence - knowing what is universally right and wrong
  • Win-win economics and leveling of the playing field
  • Individual and political responsibility, to the point of Global Stewardship
  • True collaboration, inclusion, and erosion of class barriers, at which communism failed because it created the privileged communist class much like a privileged fascist class
  • People transcending their fears
  • Mass adoption of growth mindset
  • Mass healing of standard childhood trauma.
