Thank you for clarifying these terms, Katie! Like you, for much of my life I hadn't paid much attention to civics and definitions such as these -- but I'm riveted, now! I had a loose understanding of the four you laid out -- mainly from my Waldorf work -- so I'm glad to know more. We ALL really do need to understand our citizen's rights.
Looking forward to more! And I'm going to check out Paul Levy, based on your and Rocket's recommendation.
Yes! The lack of civics education is part of the plan to keep us obedient and compliant, so it’s up to us to educate each other. Your experience with Waldorf self governance is a great example of a parallel society. However most of us have been trained to conform, “be good” and follow orders, not how to communicate to reach consensus. We have to unlearn that behavior first.
Paul Levy is a deep but fruitful dive into the shadows that may alter your world view…keep me posted!😊
Katie, normally this subject matter would not be something I would gravitate toward, but given the way you presented it, I actually found this article really interesting. I recently came across something written by Paul Levy about our economic system which made me think of your article. He said that once you realize how our economic system is a grand financial illusion built on ever-shifting sand, and a pervasive fraud as a business model, "it is then our responsibility to re-create and re-dream a different set of agreements regarding how to be in relationship with each other...setting the stage to re-engineer the system." It seems that this is just what you are attempting to do with the PMA model. Very exciting! More power to you!
Yes! Exactly right. I’m inspired by Paul Levy’s work too. Recreating and redreaming our relationships is the foundation. I see us re-engineering the system first by ceasing to depend upon it. We can only do that if we have each other to depend upon. We can make the system obsolete by inventing a better one that serves us and not the Machine.

Agreed. One question: there are multiple Paul Levys I've found. Can you identify him further?
Here’s his website:
