In this age of rapid economic globalization, the idea of a real, world-wide society is beginning to seem not just necessary but almost inevitable.

This forum is for people who are seeking better, non-political social alternatives -- local, national and international. It is based on (though not limited to) the issues raised in "Beyond Democracy: A slightly outrageous introduction to post-democratic society and politics," at http://www.neopelago.com/byd/
