Hierarchical structures, with presidents, directors, chiefs, generals, and the like, tend to regard members as pawns. Their leaders see adherents as a ladder to their own success and, instead of serving them, seek to dominate them. It should guard against becoming a sterile exchange between professional ethicians, theologians, or religionists. Marches, demonstrations, parades, and mass rallies impair the decision-making autonomy and distort the specific viewpoint of the individual human being. Judicious conclusions are reached by a careful weighing of evidence, not shouting in unison, making vague pledges, or engaging in mass hysteria.
Equality entitles each member to an opportunity for decision making as well as dialogue.
Representative democracy, with delegates that may have personal agendas to push, and assemblies where action is paralyzed by manipulation, maneuvering, posturing, and filibustering, is less well suited to this type of project than a system where direct democracy is introduced. But everyone must be held responsible for malicious acts. Equality Avoidance of domination and oppression. Exercising or allowing for the least possible force, constraint, violence, threat, power over the other, and social and organizational hierarchy when the latter entails subjection, abuse, and humiliation. Refraining from the exploitation of perceived weakness, such as infirmity, old age, vulnerability, ignorance, gullibility, or any handicap.
