These are band-aid fixes over more fundamental problems. Voting is only a minor part of the civics process. People's fundamental philophies are corrupt and weak. People must spend time actually contemplating proper philosophy of government, starting with fixing problems on their own rather than relying on a once a year vote followed by misplaced hope.
Firstly, people must adopt the principle of equal rights, which they clearly have not adopted at all. If a government agent can do soemething but you can't, obviously that is unequal rights. The government gives itself the privilege to lie "for national security", and the right to cheat (unequal rights), steal (taxes), and kill (war). When what the government does is lie, cheat, steal, and kill, how it goes about doing that is a minor part of the civics process.
Secondly, people call on politicians do do things. Politicians have created the problems. People must instead call on politicians to UNDO things. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can undo that they messed up. Don't count on them to undo it. Start on your own with alternative solutions... your OP works on some of that idea, a small step in the right direction.
Thirdly which connects to the first point, funding a government by extortion, theft, and slavery is morally wrong. Government must be funded by voluntary means only. I wrote a free booklet on that, link in signature, and do work on that on a daily basis.
I believe what he speaks about seems to be a long term solution to the currency problem we have, not just that but
decentralized courts
decentralized schools
decentralized tax aka network fee allocation (is your network fee funded by voluntary means with bitcoin, if yes, then his idea is as well)
and more.
I do agree with you that people must adopt the principle of equal rights. You are 100% right on that and I think the aim of his post is to do that.
