One might want to consider America is a series of Federations from the Iroquois to the Internet and all arrangements in between. Centralization has always failed- you are living through such a failure now.
I'm curious then: would you consider human societies/civilizations as possessing a basic life cycle in which centralization is characteristic of decline? Or, to put it another way, do you see an embedded decentralization as a kind of guarantee against such decline?
I think that Federation is just our history. I think it keeps happening for good reasons. There are many countries where Centralization works and indeed may be essential to survival. Central Europe comes to mind.
In other countries it may be a mistake. It would be a mistake to do centralized rule in America, as the Iroquois and the Crown discovered. That Federation happened again with the Internet - administratively and technically* rather bookends our situation with the Iroquois and the Internet, which confirms the case. This can’t just be ignored.
*(BGP is the protocol that runs the Internet and its a Federation).
Thank you for the feedback! This is certainly worth considering as I continue formulating my pitch for a socialism with American characteristics. You may find some decentralized attributes of such described in a previous dispatch ("Tomorrow's History, Today!"), but I'll surely return to the topic in months to come, and I'll make sure to keep this all in mind.
We are on the same page then! Personally, I'm inclined to think that many people come to this conclusion can arrive at it through many -isms. Once we've arrived there, then it's time to make our proposals for what we think ought to be done to enrich the working class and to end the parasitism of the ruling class. So, it's a great sign to me just that you and I are talking about it, regardless of what label we put on these ideas.
Interesting.

This history isn’t lightly ignored.

Neither Sir.

I must be honest- I’m not a socialist, but something must be done for the common man, especially the working man.

I think ~ism’s , that is to say Ideology is a mistake.
The logic of Ideas … no.
We are the wrong species.
Experience, history, common sense, trial and error.
Taylorism and Bureaucracy ruined any chance for the Soviet Union. Taylor was for factory efficiency *at that time *.
