    Even if you manage to establish a clean democracy once, how do you prevent it from being corrupted?

    The Lemmy migration shows you how small the number of active citizens is.

    The world has enough places that citizens could organize in the way you describe, despite billionaire opposition. The problem is that humans are not wired that way. We rely on the self interest of sad people who seek solace in their empires to build our civilization.

    Happy people would spend their time with other happy humans. Nobody really likes the noisance of business. You believe that you can find people who do the work of billionaires without the freedom. I think you won’t find them and you won’t find the ones to control them.
