对世界上最强大的政治理念——民主——的大胆重新审视，以及激进民主如何仍能改变美国的故事。早在独立革命之前，民主就已经是美国的宗教信仰——从新英格兰的市政厅到大西洋海盗船上的多元文化民主。然而，我们当前的政治制度似乎只对最富有的人做出回应，让大多数美国人感到疏离、无声且权利被剥夺，它真的能被称为民主吗？如果我们的民主工具无法解决我们面临的日益严重的危机，那么我们作为普通……

……“无政府主义者”），而美国体制直接把它招安并重新包装成了所谓的“民主”。因为老百姓天生就想自己掌控生活，而不是让政治和财富精英来管。想深入了解的话，推荐格雷伯的《民主计划》（The Democracy Project）；他是一位人类学家，帮着发起了“占领华尔街”，还把“99%”那个口号给叫响了。
…"anarchist"), and the US system co-opted it and rebranded itself as a democracy. Because people naturally would like to govern their lives, rather than political and wealthy elites. I recommend Graeber's _The Democracy Project_ for more on this; he's an anthropologist who helped found Occupy, and popularized the 99% slogan.
……多数人统治——其实是富人少数统治。（显而易见，他们当时可没把非裔和女性算在内。）后来政客们把“民主”这个词据为己有，纯粹当成了营销噱头。想了解更多可以看看格雷伯的《民主计划》（The Democracy Project）。（http://lareviewofbooks.org/review/democracy-what-is-it-good-...）每隔几年去按一次投票按钮，选出一个企业赞助的新国王，这根本算不上什么有意义的民主参与。
…majority rule — the wealthy minority. (Obviously they didn't mean African Americans and women.) Later politicians coopted the term "democracy", as marketing. One source to learn more is Graeber's "The Democracy Project". (http://lareviewofbooks.org/review/democracy-what-is-it-good-...) Pushing a button every few years for your new corporate-sponsored king isn't meaningful democratic participation.
……对于这种强行粉饰感到极其沮丧、毫无干劲。抱歉，我当时真该随手加个书签的。——终于开始听格雷伯的《规则的乌托邦》（The Utopia of Rules）了。简直让我大开眼界，脑子里跟刮过一场风暴似的。格雷伯的《民主计划》（The Democracy Project）里有更多激进又实用的解释。他把“rational”（理性/照章办事）和“reasonable”（通情达理/做正确且公平的事）区分开来，正好说出了困扰我几十年的心结。……
…at, and demotivated by, the justifying. Sorry, I should have book marked it. -- Finally listening to Graeber's Utopia of Rules. It's kinda blowing my mind. Like a firestorm in my head. Graeber's The Democracy Project has even more radical, useful explanations. His distinction between "rational" (following the rules) and "reasonable" (doing what's right, fair) gives voice to something that's been plaguing me for decades.…
……新花样冒出来的速度远快于最佳实践的普及速度。待办事项：或许埃弗雷特的《创新的扩散》（Diffusion of Innovations）聊过这个。我最近在大卫·格雷伯的书里获益匪浅，最新看的是《民主计划》（The Democracy Project）和《规则的乌托邦》（The Utopia of Rules）。它们第一次对职场民主（协作、赋权）给出了符合我个人亲身经历的描述。在那之前，我基本上就是走一步看一步（比如瞎琢磨“要是德鲁克会怎么……
…are added faster than best practices can percolate. To do list item: Maybe Everett's Diffusion of Innovations talks about this. I've been getting a lot out of David Graeber's books, most recently The Democracy Project and Utopia of Rules. They're the first description of workplace democracy (collaboration, empowerment) which matches my own experiences. Back then, I was just kinda winging it (eg "What would Drucker…
我推荐《债：第一个5000年》（Debt: The First 5,000 Years）还有《民主计划》（The Democracy Project）。这两本书都让我彻底着迷。团结永存，格雷伯安息（rest in power）。
I recommend Debt the first 5000 years as well as The Democracy Project. Both of which were absolutely fascinating to me. Solidarity forever and rest in power Graeber.
……危机的根源。2. 人类的组织方式多种多样。没人强迫你非得用资本主义那套默认的官僚体制，放开思路去创造吧：去读读格雷伯的《狗屁工作》（Bullshit Jobs）、《万物的黎明》（The Dawn of Everything）以及《民主计划》（The Democracy Project）。3. 人是如何被激励的：平克的《驱动力》（Drive）。4. 如何在传统的科层制内部打造一个高信任、低集权、开放且协作的环境：马凯特的《语言即领导力》（Leadership is Language）。5. 沟通：……
…of the Crisis. 2. There is a wide variety of ways for humans to organise. Nobody is forcing the default capitalist bureaucracy on you, so be creative: Graeber, Bullshit Jobs & Dawn of Everything & The Democracy Project. 3. How people are motivated: Pink, Drive. 4. How to create a high-trust, less authoritarian, open, collaborative environment within a traditional hierarchy: Marquet, Leadership is Language. 5. Communication:…
