   We already had this debate in the sixties.  We tried to find alternate   
   methods of collective decision making, (participatory democracy and   
   all that) and failed catastrophically.  A collectivity that makes real   
   decisions has to be represented by one man, and that one man   
   supervised by a not very large group.   
      
   When we pretended we were doing something different, we in fact   
   engaged in cynical fraud.
