What happens when there is no consensus on an important decision and people split in half and one half tries to impose their will on the other? How is this mediated? And if they do not have authority what happens when someone doesn’t want to do what needs to be done? Who has the authority to punish coerce them?
And I have so many questions about security both domestic and foreign that I don’t even know where to start.
In the coop I was in, important decisions required 2/3rds majority for two meetings in a row. Talked to someone where they required consensus for all decisions, and they said it would sometimes take months of conversations until everyone agreed.
Once a system is in place that everyone agrees with, there’s hardly any need to enforce anything, but in the case there is, there’d be bylaws to fall back on to collectively enforce.
I’m thinking in terms of what a cooperative economy would look like, so corporations and business, manufacturing and production would be run by cooperatives. I imagine there’d still need to be larger state, but why not run state and federal departments like a coop too?
