    Good idea … how about just a system where everyone elects a regional representative and leave it at that.

    No political parties, just political reps representing their region.

        What about a gauntlet that requires gems of state reps. And it has a 50% of working and a 50% of killing whoever is wearing it. But when it works, it has a 50% chance of making things worse.

        Intriguing perhaps some additional rings could be forged simultaneously to enable greater synergy through delegation of power to representatives of various species states, parties etc

        No, communism has a centrally planned, state-directed economy. Only some executive functions are regional, but the power also lies at very few people in the end.

      But then how would we have a Supreme Court to rule all of heaven and earth like self appointed god kings?

      Does it have to be connected to the dirt I live near? Maybe we can all vote for people and those with more votes can represent us more?

      I get there are regional issues, but not everything is regional.

        Except every Soviet was eventually dominated by one political party, with no competition against it allowed. That’s a far cry from “everyone just elects the best representative for their region no parties”

            Oh, sorry, I could’ve added an addendum to my comment.

            “Every Soviet eventually became dominated by one party or died

            I’m quite aware of the other council based systems that cropped up (most familiar with Mahkno) and the attempts to reform the soviet system (most familiar with Kronstadt) but all of those died, so there’s not much point in mentioning them. I also don’t see the point of saying “it’s just like soviets” when that version of the Soviets has only existed for at most a year or two, or completely only in theory.
