How so? Representative democracy mediated by a constitution is the most
efficient form of democracy (which is the most efficient form of
government). It describes the duties of the government, the
responsibilities of the agents/representatives, limits the gross authority
of the masses to something less than absolute. Which is critical for any
democracy - something CACL philosophy doesn't do at all since it allows
economic coersion to exist without limit. And protects the individual from
abuse.
Like all systems, it only works if people use it. Even CACL philosophy
can't claim to work unless people use it (and people don't, which speaks
for itself).

The fact is that the net will not decrease the amount of time and effort
spent on negotiations and working private deals. It may make the
interchange faster but the vast majority of time is spent in discussion,
decision, and execution. None of these are ameniable to the net. They
happen at 'people time' and unless you know a way of jacking up your
nervous system that time frame won't change.
