So you essentially paint the world I referred to as "promised land" where there is no system of hireachy like the one now.
Yes, this IS possible. A blueprint for a bottom up real time pure democracy exists. It's called The Matrix-8 Solution. If you folks would study it in detail you will likely understand how this is possible. But, it will take many hours and lots of questions will arise which i and John Huckel @matrix-8 will do our best to answer. I in-courage you to do so.
@chrisrice (co-founder of D.Buzz) has already begun to do this. You can read a thread with some of his questions and my replies here: @atma.love/ried94xx178fypb
Moving The Matrix-8 Solution into being, by first recruiting a group of 50 or so committed people who have studied and understand the system and are prepared to get behind it (using the consensus mechanism of Matrix-8) with some time and effort, then to build a DApp which will enable it to be used with larger groups (infinitely larger) and then trial and test it in some Hive communities, will likely revolutionise blockchain governance (led by Hive putting Hive at the forefront of blockchains and potentially HIVE at No.1 Market Cap, never mind the top 100!).
And even when other Matrix-8 Platforms are copied by others – Hive will have been the first one out of the blocks. As you well know, the first working iteration of a novel and useful system has a huge advantage over those who later copy it. Bitcoin may not be the best possible design at this juncture in the evolution of Cryptos, but it's dominance in this space is unchallenged. Similarly, the Hive Community will enjoy a substantial lead over any copycats to follow. That, in and of itself could guarantee Hive's survival. But there is another very positive aspect to adopting The Matrix-8 Solution – and that is, once promoted to its most likely users, by its design it will bring new people into the Hive Community by the hundreds or thousands each time it is employed. This is because it's primary purpose is to provide the Democratic Process (the next evolutionary step from Representative Democracy) to huge groups of people who cannot otherwise coordinate to fulfill the wishes of their individual members.

Where Blockchain shredded traditional centralized banking, the Matrix-8 Solution can potentially undo centralized governance itself. It can just facilitate, or completely replace any Democratic Process currently in use by large numbers of participants. (If we play our cards right, some day we might be able to say goodbye to Government!)
And the Matrix-8 Solution has many applications outside of repairing governments. It is the next evolution in Crowdfunding; and as such, it will be a huge money maker. I call this evolution: CauseFunding. It will allow participants to gather around a Cause, and themselves fund whatever project they are pursuing. Using the Democratic Process, a Matrix-8 platform is geared to providing open-ended Participation, excellence in quality Deliberations, secure Voting, and the reaching of universally understood actionable Accords. And, most important to our discussion – it surpasses any other system out there regarding establishing a Trusted Reputation.
Think of a Matrix-8 platform as an agreement factory. Unlike the normal chatroom discord, the basic mechanics of the Matrix-8 Solution involve facilitating the members of a large group to continually refine and expand their agreements. With the intention of actually getting something done in the Real World, participants will assemble anonymously in congress on a Matrix-8 platform. In broad strokes, the platform operates as a combination of a well-ordered chatroom and a Crowdfunding platform. But, it acts differently from traditional Crowdfunding platforms in that it is not geared toward seeking donations from others. It does not start with someone with a Business Plan looking for funding. It starts in a chatroom atmosphere with a Cause being discussed by a number of people looking to do something to improve the situation. These folks are then led to develop their own Business Plan through detailed Deliberations. Those participating in what I call a Cause Group, will generally raise the bulk of the monies needed from themselves.

ps. I'm tagging a few others who have been commenting in this thread who would likely not see this comment otherwise, and i think this is super important for the future of Hive. Hope you dont mind. @definethedollar,
