9.1. Introduction

The system has all the political, military, and economic means to annihilate proposals for alternative societies.

Even the election of people favorable to Software Democracy through current electoral systems would probably not allow its implementation, due to existing international treaties, administrative inertia, and media control by the system.

A violent revolution would also probably be doomed to fail, firstly because revolutions tend to bring out leaders more interested in their own power than that of the people. Moreover, Software Democracy cannot be implemented overnight. Applications must be developed, tested, and a first version of Constitutions must be written...

Therefore, Software Democracy will come about through a non-violent revolution, by building itself alongside the system as an experiment that will gradually gain maturity. It will not attack the system frontally but will develop an attractive alternative proposal, which will encourage citizens to participate and eventually become impossible to ignore.

The unfalsifiable opinion of millions of people starting to vote on the blockchain of Software Democracy will quickly become a significant political force; and when critical mass is reached, it will simply render existing political institutions obsolete.

But the system will fight against Software Democracy. This is where the ultimate test of trust will be played out: the system's domination is only possible because we accept it. If enough citizens of Software Democracy block peacefully, nothing will be able to prevent the transition.
