POSSIBILITIES
Once Oasis-Cities are given political autonomy, it will facilitate and trigger an enormous range of socio-political initiatives that would be virtually impossible to legislate in conventional “democracies”, except maybe over a very long time-frame. For example – despite that an allegedly “dangerous idea” like euthanasia is supported by a majority in most democracies, it is routinely voted-down by MP’s (the peoples so-called “representatives”) on “moralistic” grounds. Which is ironic because, even if only a “minority” were in favour of euthanasia, surely there is something morally wrong with the majoritarian “logic” that – were the issue ever put to a referendum – the wishes of 49 % (or even 49.99%) could be justifiably ignored if a tiny 51% (or even 50.01%) so-called “majority” voted against the issue. Such is the curious logic of Democracy – our allegedly “best” form of government – which nobody dare question lest he/she be labelled a “fascist” – or other “non-person” category..!
