Very interesting. The Ruling Elites rarely it seems show up at Open Space. They hide out more likely! They send proxies.
Not sure history shows they ever have intention of negotiating, nor is there really much of an imperative for them to do so. Many say the only reason we got 1933 New Deal, etc. in US is because communists were gaining steam on the extreme left-wing. The right-wing had to cave. Seems there has to be an equal match for power to force negotiation. Not sure we have that balance of power enshrined in these constitutions and their institutions around the world. Meanwhile, we have to ask ourselves about our own complicity in their current problems by blindly letting Condor roll-out all over Latin America in 1970s! And Neo-Liberalism after that in 1980s which privatized their education and social security pensions in Chile resulting in this mess. Seems we should be at their Open Space too to represent the whole-system since we obviously didn't ride herd hard enough on our own Elites behind all that in what was then maybe still a Democracy with some modicum of accountability remaining. Not sure our Elites will show up either! HA! In 1848, the Europeans experienced an equivalent to the "Arab Spring" and OWS Fall, etc. phenom we're seeing now for a year. It took 100 yrs till 1945 to really force in those Republics! And then only after some pretty bad right-wing extremism forced their hand and depleted everything. Thank you for sending. We live in hope!
