IRCNow is to make it a network where the users have control, a network of
the user, by the user, for the user
08:42 < jrmu> I consider this network an experiment in self government. But as we all
know, democracies are full of chaos and anarchy, and many democratic
experiments end up in total failure
08:43 < jrmu> Now I have spent quite a lot of time studying the history of different
political forms from many nations, and my conclusion is that the best
models for us are Rome and America, those two being the largest and
strongest republicans in history
08:43 < jrmu> republics*
08:44 < jrmu> If we succeed here, we will have created the first digital self-governing
community of users -- I am not aware of any other that exists in this
world
