Solutions from the Multiverse: Heterarchy, the Cure for FascismSummary
Adam Braus proposes a new word for what most people mean when they say "democracy," Heterarchy:
heterarchy, a society where many different powers compete, cooperate and keep each other in check. Adam argues that fascism, oligarchy, dictatorship and a pure-referendum democracy are all failures to preserve that balance. He says the left and the right both want heterarchy, and a fresh term could build common ground. Scot Maupin pushes back and asks the practical questions along the way.
