Okay, I have no problem with that. No one can know what will work
best until the attempt(s) is (are) made. But I would certainly hope that
ANY nationally focused party or movement would adopt as a cardinal tenet
the assumption that ultimately democracy cannot be saved unless all the
world's people enjoy its benefits and no one segment of humankind has the
right to prey on another. The world cannot survive half-free and
half-slave.
Best,
