I hope, for the sake of my children and future generations, that you are right that such a society will come to be.

I hope too. Mexico is through a very sad process of social breakdown but this has given the needed contrast to see that Participatory Systems are working well. They have some features that are likely to guarantee a promising future, at least over the old approach of social change: they can not be hijacked by a leaders and followers because they do not follow that dysfunctional logic of that old "social activism" view; they do not embrace any sort of idealism because they are rooted in what people is and the resources people have at hand in the present moment; they evolve through a complex transformational learning system where the goals evolve while they fit the need of everybody; they are not easily prompt to corruption because everybody participates under equal conditions; they are not guided by a personal view and they are not imposed; the process is about to "see", to discuss and to decide in agreement. Everybody counts but that do not means that everybody is equal; differences are significant for the process. People learn that there is no need to see "the other" as the responsible of our misfortunes so there are no real enemies to fight against.
