Against all odds, the Hexbear Party is the vanguard of a successful revolution, and the users of this site are the Peoples' Commissars of the new government. What would that look like?

I was thinking about the Bolsheviks and how they were basically a bunch of weird nerds (especially Trotsky) who were mostly figuring things out as they went, and I thought that we're not much different.

    One of my favourite reformy but intense ideas is to have a proportional system (assign seats by party percentage of the vote), but allot some seats in congress/parliament by sortition according to the number of people who didn't vote.

    Low turnout election? Too bad you have a senate of random fucks now.

      Chaotic good

      But tbh treating public office like jury duty isn’t a bad idea

      a senate of random fucks

      This would be more democratic than the senate as it currently exists
