Extreme Democracy

http://extremedemocracy.com/

"Extreme democracy" is a political philosophy of the information era 
that puts people in charge of the entire political process. It suggests 
a deliberative process that places total confidence in the people, 
opening the policy-making process to many centers of power through 
deeply networked coalitions that can be organized around local, national 
and international issues. The choice of the word "extreme" reflects the 
lessons of the extreme programming movement in technology that has 
allowed small teams to make rapid progress on complex projects through 
concentrated projects that yield results far greater than previous 
labor-intensive programming practices. Extreme democracy emphasizes the 
importance of tools designed to break down barriers to collaboration and 
access to power, acknowledging that political realities can be altered 
by building on rapidly advancing generations of technology and that 
human organizations are transformed by new political expectations and 
practices made possible by technology.
