Good appreciation @soo.chong163 and thanks for your comment.

The seed of democratic or any representative government lies with the perverted tendency of the men to prefer misery under misrule by "common" men than be well-governed by their betters.

That is how education plays a part. We are educated to obey, and to choose people by popularity. That perverted tendency is taught, not inherited. That was probably the mistake of the Athenians. People needs to be instructed to be democratic, before they can exercise democracy. Constitutions and law must have a critical role to place each individual and groups some boundaries.

While regional and local automony may be viable political solution for maximizing civic participation and representation, the current economic realities of centralized and interconnected economies would make such reforms unpopular. Either the regional electorate chooses to be a part of a national or international economic union, in which circumstance, the current financial juggernauts will dictate policy (essentially current sociopolitical situation without central political force as a counter-balance); or the electorate chooses to decouple from national or international economic union, in which circumstance, the electorate must accept massive reduction in its living standards.

I won't lie, it is kind of utopic what are we talking about here. But think about this: Economic Decentralization is actually possible thanks to Crypto. It will take some time, but that's now achievable. That's why banks and some governments are talking trash about them.
