I'd like to see all drugs completely legal for everyone, Sodium fluoride to never be added to drinking water ever again, for no one to own land (instead it is shared with common sense in mind) and for there to be anarchy (a system with no rulers).
I think democracy is a primitive system and that we don't need to elect someone to govern us, we can govern ourselves. We could, for example, log into an online forum and vote on issues ourselves.
To create a political party in Australia there need to be members (it can't be done alone). So if anyone would like to start a political party with me called Anarchy you can PM me any time and we can get started. Others are welcome to copy me in their country.
Here is a link with information on how to start a political party in Australia.

If you're all collectively voting on issues, that's not anarchy, it's direct democracy like the greeks used to have.
The problem with real anarchy is that someone rapidly becomes a dictator and then you have an infinitely worse system than representational democracy. All countries that have had periods of total lawlessness and lack of government rapidly descended into violence and were eventually taken over by warlords or militias and converted into dictatorships. It's happened quite frequently.
Direct democracy is cool, but it has problems just like representational democracy. One of the problems is preventing the people from bankrupting themselves. If you can directly vote to give yourself money, most people will do so until the government (even in the form of a direct democracy) goes bankrupt and collapses. Another problem is that the entire functioning of government becomes about what's popular. If a majority of people choose to oppress a smaller group of people, that smaller group has nothing they can do about it in a direct democracy. Drug users, for example, if they're hated by a majority of people are going to get fucked in a direct democracy.
It's generally better to improve a broken system instead of trying to throw it away and start over. If you throw it away, you end up fixing nothing and trade the progress you've already made in the system you have for zero progress in a new system that is equally as broken.

The biggest problem with democracy is the tyranny of the majority. The minority will always be oppressed in a democracy.

I think true anarchism is a very beautiful way for society to function. I would love for there to be anarchy and real community within the towns.
Here's a good video on anarchy:

the first step in bringing about freedom and anarchy is educating the indoctrinated masses about what anarchy is and what it can be.
since the average person believes this kind of bullshit like you cant vote in anarchy, the likelihood of getting support for it is slim, and unfortunately the people in charge of education have a bias toward federalism high taxes and control.
