How each model solves the same problems
Instead of “democracy versus anarchism”, compare the concrete ways collective problems get solved.
| Question | + Model | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | Ward assemblies set priorities; elected local governments approve plans prepared with expert task forces. | State legislature and governor set the dividend through the budget process. | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | Unknown | Unknown | |
| How are public goods funded? | Local roads, housing, water, agriculture and welfare projects funded from devolved plan funds. | Returns of a publicly owned investment fund.Sovereign wealth fund dividend | |
| How is AI used? | No AI role. | No documented AI role. | |
| What are the main risks? | Dependence on state-level political commitment; uneven local capacity; elite capture of assemblies. | Political pressure to use fund earnings for the state budget instead of dividends. |
This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
