Before you go all Marx on me, yes yes I know about utopian socialism vs scientific socialism, but its ok to have fun once in a while.

This is what my ideal leftist government looks like.

  1. Unicameral legislature. No separate elections for executive. Ranked-choice voting.

  2. Executive is formed from the directly elected legislators through voting among legislators.

  3. 1:10,000 elector-electee ratio at the state level and 1:100,000 at the federal level.

  4. All state and federal reps can be recalled by an 80% no-confidence vote. This vote doesn't need to be initiated by the majority, you just go to your local govt office and submit a form of no-confidence, and once the threshold is reached, the elected rep is sacked.

  5. No head of state, either at state level or federal level. This means no President, no Governors, no Speakers etc.

  6. Anything in the constitution can be repealed, amended or added with simple 60% majority.

  7. No more national-level courts. State-level judges are appointed only for 5 year terms. Judges have zero power to nullify laws.

  8. The standing army is abolished and military duties are assigned to all adults.

    Death match Battle Royal style. 100 Hundred politicians get dropped on an island. Survivor gets to become Emperor for 4 years. Rinse and Repeat. The battle royal matches are televised and you get ads for the new marvel movies. Also free beer for every citizen during the period of the battle royal.
