By the time we actually got to vote for our president in ‘96, we already had a very strong civic muscle in the social or plural sector. I think the two main lessons I draw from this are: First, because we democratized after the popularization of web browsers and the internet, we see democracy itself as a kind of technology that can upgrade every other month or so by introducing new ways for higher bandwidth and lower latency. Many of them were prototyped in the co-op movement in the social sector. So that’s the first: It’s people pioneering new forms of democracy in the social sector before it got adopted by the public sector.
