So the way that this can go down, and must if we are ever hoping to get "there" is:
1. We use communication networks to connect up supportive, conscientious individuals at the local grass roots level. March on city hall type of stuff. Black Lives Matter have the right idea on this.
2. Organize coordinated presence from the local level to the centers of state government.
These are not so much like councils as festivals of polity. Maybe provide cultural stimulation and readings, guerrilla theater, music.
3. Stage the mother of all parties at the center of the federal power structure. Every street in Washington DC aflood with people demanding to be allowed to address the Congress.
We will not be silent to a world out of control. There are reforms that MUST happen. These are not optional conversations. But it will never happen until we regain our COLLECTIVE identity as fully functioning, philosophically competent, HUMAN BEINGS.
Intelligence must become self-conscious, realise its own power, and, on a global scale, transcending functions that are no longer appropriate, dare to exercise it. History will not overthrow national governments; it will outflank them. The cultural revolt is the necessary underpinning, the passionate substructure of a new order of things. — Alexander Trocchi
