That sounds a lot like the anarchy that I put a lot of unpaid time into. Decision power does not come from elections, it comes from being credible in meetings and ad-hoc conversations. It comes from thrashing out issues in dialogue.

Anarchy is boring. Anarchy is living with people. Anarchy is shaped like a kibbutz, not a revolution.

Responsibility contains the understanding of second-order effects. If you give an idiot the floor, and ask about second-order effects, they cry that you aren't respecting them.

Idiots believe that, if adults do not instantly pivot to follow their lead, it is because of a dearth of democracy.

Bitch, we are an anarchy. We have no hierarchy. Democracy is when you have rulers that you can recall, which is a special case of having rulers. You just invented a political class.
