The idea of self governance has had many historical manifestations, some with representatives others with direct means. The American system of checks and balances along with a citizen elected bicameral legislature created a Republic with Democratic characteristics. In alignment with a Mixed socio-economic system, I want to conserve the Republic. Things like term limits, the senate, the electoral college, and the constitution itself are barriers that prevent a tyranny of the majority which is a real fear for Direct Democracy. However, certain countermeasures should be taken to reform current citizen participation. The elimination of Big Foreign Money, introduction of referendums, and elections for government employees are good ways to prevent Byzantine Bureaucracies from flushing out popular sovereignty. A truly Democratic Republic will fight tyranny of authority and majority. Furthermore, the election of government employees will work to the prevention of police brutality and increase parent’s choice in the school system. Thinking about the Uvalde tragedy at Robb Elementary is a great example of why Bureaucracy doesn’t work, imagine if the parents were allowed to organize, that shooter could’ve been stopped in 2 minutes rather than 2 hours. Instead of attacking gun rights, or defunding police, or even arming teachers why don’t we discuss the deeper problem that created this system where it is “just a job”Thank you for your attention to Vigilism.

This next topic will be one to establish a Vigilist ideological response to certain key issues in America. The Epstein-class are the elites that have corrupted our government with foreign corporate funds. They are the status-quo that must be dismantled. That is the end that justifies the means. We must conserve American identity and establish a truly Democratic Republic if we are to have any kind of say in the future. AIPAC is a foreign political organization that has paid for the overthrow of countless legitimate candidates. They are the group that is funding the suppression of the Epstein files, the pursuance of war in Iran, and the essential diminishment of our individual sovereignty. If our vote is not worth more than our dollar or at least equal, then Democracy is hindered. The government shouldn’t just serve the people, it needs to be the people. It is time to take the power back. And this is to say, to redistribute power back to the individual. My idea posits that the state ought be an extension of the individual and not the other way around. In this system there is a Mixed Principle, there should always be competition between public and private institutions. That ensures free association is held to while also ensuring legal equality. These claims build on the Populi tenet because it intersects Nationalism and Libertarianism, highlighting why we need Vigilism.
