Federal vs. unitary is one part of politics that is tricky, because you cannot really say one is inherently better or helps human progress go faster than the other one. Federal systems allow smaller regions to adopt laws which means they can influence the rest of society if they are proven successful, but the same can be said for regions that are regressive or tyrannical. Living in Florida, I have personally experienced not having the same rights as people in other parts of the same country. On the other hand, a unitary state can potentially block regional progressive movements or can become tyrannical itself.

For Technocrats I think a unitary state is best since we would need to pass a lot of reforms and build a lot of infrastructure. I wouldn't mind if the technate became federalized after all the necessary foundations were built, but then it creates the question about why morality magically changes when state lines are crossed, if some parts of the country have different laws both based on morality.

People don't want to live under systems that end in breadlines, especially for the military or those literally working in the government. It seems like a good time to destabilize the regime either through protests, propagandizing, or other actions that we can take to weaken the government's grip on power or the loyalty of the citizens. What are some ideas you guys have about activism during these times?

I want to do a video for youtube about why I choose to follow Howard Scott's ideas instead of Marxist-Leninist ones. I think my main reason is because it's a higher stage of development but also because many people do not have any real political ideologies or coherent understanding of the world, which leads to them being easily swayed or manipulated on the issues. I think the working class should have civil rights, freedom from exploitation and landlordism, but I don't believe that the general proletariat is necessarily the best at addressing every issue in society. Especially more complex or specific issues like the climate. Here in America it is also very difficult to trust the masses because they have historically voted for egregious things or provided political support for them. People here have lost the ability to know when something is a fact or opinion, and rationalism would need to be restored and enforced before the masses could ever be trusted with political power.

What are some reasons you personally choose Technocracy over Socialism/Anarchism, etc.?
