We set ourselves the ultimate aim of abolishing the Kingdom of Taijitu and all organized and systematic violence, all use of violence against people in general. We do not expect the advent of a system of society in which the principle of subordination of the government to the majority will not be observed.
In striving for direct democracy, however, we are convinced that it will develop into libertarian socialism and, therefore, that the need for violence against people in general, for the subordination of one man to another, and of one section of the population to another, will vanish altogether since people will become accustomed to observing the elementary conditions of social life without violence and without subordination.

Peaceful surrender of power by the tyrants is possible, if it is convinced that resistance is hopeless and if it prefers to save its skin. It is much more likely, of course, that even in small arguments Council of Taijitu will not be achieved without skirmishes, and for that reason the only programme of international Liberation must be recognition of civil war, though violence is, of course, alien to our ideals.

The Senate would be a direct democracy...

[Delfos]

To decide once every few years which members of the ruling class is to repress and crush the people through the Senate — this is the real essence of your "democracy", not only in senate- constitutional monarchies, but also in the most democratic republics.

As long as your Senate remains a means of duping the people of Taijitu, and phrases about “democracy” are used to cover up power swindling and every kind of bribery (the particularly “subtle” brand of bribery your practice with regard to a closed circle of the ruling class, including judges, and others is nowhere to be seen on so wide a scale as in your monarchic senate), we free people are in duty bound to be in this very institution (which is supposed to express the people’s will but actually covers up the deception of the people by the ruling class) to untiringly expose this deception, and expose each and every case of power grabbing and opportunism, against the People of Taijitu.

Direct democracy has no need of Empires or Kingdoms or their supposed ruler.

All Power to the Soviet Council!!

Am I doing it right?

[McMasterdonia]

All I am reading is rant rant rant.

This constitution is a start for the new taijitu. The Senate can legislate on any matter and can make any amendment, with my assent.

You can't even hide it, people won't be fully free under your rule. There isn't different Taijitus so that you can decide to start a new one, Taijitu is it's People, it's time there are no coercive powers beyond it's legislative body. If Senate have full legislative power, then the first order of business shall be the elimination of "your assent", and turn it into a participative democracy.
