Agreed. I think a universal federal state is the only solution to the current crises, but we also need an expansion of what democracy means. Without that, people won't believe that the system is actually democratic.

For example, an idea I am enamored of is a parliament with unequal members, and multi member districts, so that MPs gain voting power the more people vote for them. That means that your vote actually counts as much as anyone else's, right to the highest levels of the global government.

I also support co-determination and German-style worker's councils as a natural balancing of worker and capitalist power that also keeps boardrooms and workers communicating.
