Preface

The world calls what it has “democracy.” But what it lives is still rule — of few over many, of voices arranged in ranks. The form changed; the pattern stayed. One side commands, the other resists, and both pretend it is freedom.

The tragedy is quiet. Those who once rose against suppression built a system that perfected it. They gave the whip a new name — “mandate” — and the silence a new name — “majority.” The crowd still protests. The guards still push them back. And the rulers still claim it is the will of the people.

Real freedom is not in electing masters for fixed years. It is in deciding together, every day, every hour, every act that shapes our shared life. Power cannot be borrowed or lent. It must remain in motion — returned to the people the moment it is used.

This new model is born from that truth. No opposition, because no one is to be opposed. No hierarchy, because no one is above another. Only constant participation — the people themselves, deciding not once in years but in every minute of their common life.

Power shared is power preserved.
