Political parties have become self-sustaining hierarchies whose only goal is to acquire power. Their divisive electioneering allows the world's dictatorships to ridicule democratic nations. This book reviews the history of humanity, showing that extinction of hierarchy in favour of democratic anarchism was a key turning point in the emergence of modern humans. Within the last two decades scientists have confirmed Kropotkin's discovery that mutual aid was more important than competition in human evolution, although they deny him credit because they disagree with his anarchist politics. The book explains how political parties sabotaged the plans of the founders of modern democracy, who aimed to reproduce the ancient Athenian representative assembly. Finally, the author shows how easy it will be to break the stranglehold of the political parties using a simple tactical voting algorithm. No revolution is needed; a small minority of the electorate can tip the balance. The rest of the electorate can stay loyal to a political party until the superiority of real democracy becomes obvious.
