@theboyler
quick & dirty
guide to policy
governance
@theboyler
ends - who are we
here to bene鍖t and
how exactly will we
bene鍖t them?
@theboyler
limitations what cant be
done to achieve
those ends?
@theboyler
1

the iron law of
oligarchy = the
war on drugs
@theboyler
2

career
(socio)paths
@theboyler
without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in
every public institution, becomes a mere semblance
of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the
active element. Public life gradually falls asleep, a
few dozen party leaders of inexhaustible energy and
boundless experience direct and rule. Among them,
in reality only a dozen outstanding heads do the
leading and an elite of the working class is invited
from time to time to meetings where they are to
applaud the speeches of the leaders, and to
approve proposed resolutions unanimously油 at
bottom, then, a clique affair

2

Rosa Luxembourg The Russian Revolution

@theboyler
3

Parkinsons Law:
a feature, not a bug
@theboyler
4

doing democracy
badly is toxic to
the very idea of
democracy
@theboyler
open source
governance
vs
Democratic
Centralism

5

@theboyler
Undemocratic
Centralism
Long career paths for
inadequate experts

5

Stay close to executives

Neither properly guide nor
properly hold to account
Micromanagement

Con鍖dentiality and Collective
Responsibility

open
source

Ordinary members expert at
being ordinary members
Stay closer to members

Set strong direction linked to
member bene鍖t
Focus on bigger picture
Open discussion and
disagreement
