This is a collaborative and decentralized model, very different from the current system, in which there is enormous centralization of power in the hands of political leaders and those with excessive wealth. In the model proposed here, as the town, province or nation becomes self-sufficient, there will be less concern about abuse of power. Abuse only arises when power becomes centralized.

Because the system is structured into many tiers of gradual increments, it discourages inappropriate concentration of power based on wealth or position. Decisions must pass though many tiers, and no one tier has “power” over another.

As the model proposed here grows, we can anticipate that it will influence the political
establishment in nation-states, but this is incidental to its intended unifying effect on the
global community. Another incidental or ancillary effect would be a tendency to enhance the influence of individuals, organizations, and states that share the vision of a healthy global community. Yet none of this is intentional. For example, there is no intent to form a political party or enter a candidate for office in any national election. On the contrary, the entire vision and design of the governance model proposed here militates against intrusive, disruptive, or subversive involvement in organizations or states and against favoring special interests. Such interference or favoring of special interests would elicit censure and corrective action from every part of the system, most pointedly from the assembly within which it arises and the assemblies in tiers immediately above and below it. Moreover, and importantly, the proposed model would eventually reduce the ability of existing states to interfere in the internal affairs of other states.
