Commutalism is a new concept of Democracy without politicians which is organized through the Internet and balances the needs of the Individual with the Respect for Equality.
In Commutalism, the citizens would vote directly for the laws and not the politicians. In other words, instead of voting in hope that a politician will respect the trust of the citizens to pass the laws they desired, in Commutalism the citizens themselves would vote directly for the laws by simply clicking on a keyboard. Such a form of government would eliminate the public cost of politicians, and most importantly, the cost of their corruption.
Different legislative boards composed of private citizens (each citizen taking turn) could be appointed for various bills of law. Each proposal could be introduced to public scrutiny via Internet before being subjected to the majority of the citizens that can approve it or refuse it. No law could be approved in conjunction with other laws to avoid any possible social blackmail. Each law voted separately. One Police body composed of a larger number of citizens (also taking turn) could be formed to enforce the laws whenever asked by the individual citizens. Monetary funds could be allocated for different social programs and anybody could log in to see balance sheets and solvency of these funded programs.
All laws would be subjected to periodical review since some of them could have been approved by a limited number of people paying more attention when these laws were first introduced or also because the new law is not in line with all the other laws already approved. When any citizen believes that a certain law is damaging his or her own interest a new vote would allow for a possible change of that law.
Trials now taking place in a Court House could be made public and undergoing the judgment of those citizens taking their turn. Any citizen would have the right to vote or not to vote but his or her right could not be sold nor given to anybody. This system of laws could manifest for the first time one Democracy as it was originally intended.
