> The Trilateral Commission has issued one major book-length report, namely, The #CrisisOfDemocracy (Michel Crozier, #SamuelHuntington, and Joji Watanuki, 1975). Given the intimate connections between the Commission and the #CarterAdministration, the study is worth careful attention, as an indication of the thinking that may well lie behind its domestic policies, as well as the policies undertaken in other #IndustrialDemocracies in the coming years.

#Orwellian uses of #Democracy and #Crisis

For context, this was in reference to a software freedom bill in New Hampshire.

I think this is one reason why we are approaching/entering a #CrisisOfDemocracy …many young people just don’t know how the system (ostensibly) works in the US.

I’m glad to be of a generation where we were *required* to pass a civics class to graduate high school. Not long after I graduated, this was phased-out of the curriculum.
