Your frustrations do almost mimic those of our ancient ancestors, who found that grunting was no longer suitable to express their feelings and tribal social climates. Edit: do not mean to offend with that sentence, sorry! I think this is where I get the most confused. You're still using the language and framework of current politics after supposedly abolishing it. Would this "new radical leftist movement" not inspire radical "rightward" rebuttal? I agree with you that we are on the cusp of another Human Metasystem Transition, but speculating on the shape of a future "control system" is almost futile (extra emphasis on almost). For the moment, the shape is totally unforeseeable, and doesn't even necessarily involve the dissolution of the nation-state structure. One thing you've definitely got right is the potential utility of the internet in governance, but things could still go incredibly wrong. We could see the 'net used as nothing but another method of oppression, a battle we've all been witness to lately. Obviously, we'd see an underground internet gain traction, but things get hazy from there. Also consider the possibility that "metasystem acceleration" has already hit a maximum rate, and that the 21st century won't see the next HMST complete itself. I do admire your idealism and optimism, but McKenna made the classic mistake of thinking that we'd have experienced a technological singularity by now. Turns out quantifying "novelty" isn't so straightforward... Much respect for your passionate sentiments, I find them noble. :)...the outright rejection of the current political system, and the rejuvenation of a new radical leftist movement.
