    Democracy is when those who make decisions on your behalf have the duty to ask for your consent first. Today's republics are actually modern oligarchies where the interest groups of the rich are arbitrated by the people, that is, you can choose from which table of the rich you will receive crumbs. The "fatigue" of democracy occurs when there is a big difference between the interests of the elected and the voters, thus people lose confidence in the way society functions. As a result, poor and desperate citizens will vote with whoever promises them a lifeline, i.e. populists or demagogues. The democratic aspect is a collateral effect in societies where the economy has a strong competitive aspect, that is, the interests of those who hold the economic power in society are divergent. Thus those whealty, and implicitly with political power in society, supervise each other so that none of them have undeserved advantages due to politics. For this reason, countries where mineral resources have an important weight in GDP are not democratic (Russia, Venezuela, etc.), because a small group of people can exploit these resources in their own interest. In poor countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, etc.) the main exploited resource may even be the state budget, as they have convergent interests in benefiting, in their own interest, from this resource. It is easy to see if it is an oligarchy because in a true democracy laws would not be passed that would not be in the interest of the many. The first modern oligarchy appeared in England at the end of the 17th century. After the bourgeois revolution led by Cromwell succeeded, the interest groups of the rich were unable to agree on how to divide their political power in order not to reach the dictatorship of one. The solution was to appoint a king to be the arbiter. In republics, the people are the arbiter, but let's not confuse the possibility of choosing which group will govern you with democracy, that is, with the possibility of citizens deciding which laws to pass and which not to. The solution is modern direct democracy in which every citizen can vote, whenever he wants, over the head of the parliamentarian who represents him. He can even dismiss him if the majority of his voters consider that he does not correctly represent their interests. It's like when you have to build a house and you choose the site manager and the architect, but they don't have the duty to consult with you. The house will certainly not look the way you want it, but the way they want it, and it is more certain that you will be left with the money given and without the house. It is strange that outside of the political sphere, nowhere, in any economic or sports activity, will you find someone elected to a leadership position and who has failure after failure and is fired only after 4 years. We, the voters, must be consulted about the decisions and if they have negative effects we can dismiss them at any time, let's not wait for the soroco to be fulfilled, because we pay, not them. In any company, the management team comes up with a plan approved by the shareholders. Any change in this plan must be re-approved by the shareholders and it is normal because the shareholders pay.

    Thank you, Ms Rifkind, for your research and book on Mrs Viertel, her Salon and the personalities it attracted. Having read your book ( and The Kindness of Strangers) and watching this precious video is like re-living an extraordinary human and artistic experience. I think Salka Viertel deserves more space in school programmes. More, some of the people in her entourage emigrated to the United States from the part of Eastern Europe now in the grips of war, that is Ucraine; some came from Austria, Germany, Romania, Russia. No doubt they left their mark.

    I don’t understand why this citizens assembly structure is being imagined only as a one body representative of the whole country. Of course it would not be democratic of you imagine it that way. Imagine if citizens assembly is placed at the local levels then imagine you can have one for each zip code. The neighborhood government. They could select amongst them the participants for the county levels. The county assemblies then select the state assemblies. State could pick National Assembly. If you do it that way it would be a good way to develop a democratic participatory government without elections. Rotating to new participants every three months, According to my calculations, if the body comprises of 500 participants serving 3 months to one year rotation term, every citizen in the size of USA would receive an invite every 2-4 years. You could have varying participation durations and the citizen can decide how long to participate from one month up to 2 years. You can organize a core body that are there 2 years while others may choose one month durations. Remote participation will have to included. Overall this shows that the assembly could be envisioned as wholly a government without elections but more inclusive and still with representatives for county and state levels where those representatives pick representatives to build the National Assembly.

    What a wonderful video, thank you very much for sharing, and may god bless you all. (We understand that such video could not mention that Charly Chaplin found himself forced to leave the non-free USA for Switzerland and Feuchtwanger himself had a close Monitoring by the CIA until his death - carried out by appointed interviewers to him from time to time, or by sending random cars with secret service agents inside in front of his house or street up street down to make him feel observed non stop, an old trick but often found helpfull by defect states like the McCarthy USA, Klaus Modick reported about. But Feuchtwanger choose to live until his end in pacific palisades because the world had no other better, less straining place to go for him then. Otherwise he had moved again, i am quite sure. Comfort doesn't matter too much - books do a little. 'Two Houses, but one center of intelligence attention', reasurch and promotion about still missing. 'In times defected 'too much' use of free speech always attracts evil attention')
