Radical decentralization, imo. Every decision should be made at the lowest level possible. Everything your village/town/city-neighbourhood can decide for itself (such as taking in migrants) should be decided by itself. Everything that requires region cooperation and the occasional thing that requires national attention go there.

There really is no reason for a continental/global form of governance. Other than maybe a ban on torture and a legal right to due trial there is nothing that requires us to inflict measures onto hundreds of millions or billions of people.

Every decision should be made at the lowest level possible.

And who, exactly, is going to enforce that?

Who is going to exercise the power to execute this "radical decentralization of power"?

Surely you see the problem here.

No I don't see the problem. Us lazy Whites just have to take back power from the higher levels (National/EU). From then on, like the people of Switzerland who have a democratic tradition going back 1000 years, we need to raise our children with a strong sense of democratic citizenship. Arm them (like the Swiss) and teach them the risks of neglecting their duties.

Weak people make for 'strong' leaders (autocrats, dictators, despots), Strong people make for symbolic leaders. Look at the historic difference between Western Europe (bourgeois, egalitarian, vocal citizens) and Eastern Europe (peasants vs aristocrats, birth decides fate, mute serfs). The other guy responding seems to advocate going back to ye olde times. But trouble only started after WW2 (after WW1 in Germany). Holland, Sweden, the UK, these countries were fine until the 50s/60s.

Don't go 'full retard' and medieval, just go back to before globalism/corporatism. To a nation of middle class, small, medium businesses. Determining everything as local as possible. Before the Brussels-power grab, before our national governments felt justified in determining our lives from cradle-to-grave.

That line of thought is what brought me back to my roots to either say we should go back to our aristocratic republic origins in America (limited voting to the upper, landed class) or go further back and just put a king in charge. Monarchy seems much better than this democracy stuff. I think Europe might do alright putting kings or dictators or something back in as well.

I'm much on the side of old power right now. Old power like monarchs and other republics gave much more freedom to live our lives and much more honest protection than these democracies. I used to be a libertarian here in the states, and it sometimes makes me intrigued to see my transition to supporting traditionalist governments, like aristocratic republics and monarchies. Then again, looking at the roots of libertarianism, that's no surprise, when I think about it. A lot of libertarians and even some conservatives are becoming really, really dissatisfied with democracy over here. The Tea Party at the beginning was an excellent view into that, where you had people actively talking against democracy as a whole, and talking about resetting our country to the very beginning.
