The New England town meeting of old was a very effective model for governing. Towns could band together to protect themselves from a common goal. Town meetings were the source of decision-making for the good of its inhabitants.
There just can't be any real freedom in the global and national messes that are running things now. They're removed from those they supposedly govern, and their only interest is contolling populations for their gains....financial and otherwise.

I don’t have a clue as to why they would want to protect themselves from a common goal.
