A judge is only knowledgeable on the law and it's application. They wouldn't be able to successfully run a major telecom corporation, for instance, or administer a whole region because even administration and management are skills that not everyone has. It's why China is so will run, despite it's size - it's leaders are all engineering and administration/management graduates.
sorry typo.

no i am allot crazier than you think.
I am proposing a single party rule at the top and direct democracy at the bottom,
subsidiarity is nature, its natural, we should always work with nature not against it.
Could you elaborate please, I don't know how you would reconcile radical democracy with top-down single-party authoritarianism? That's like trying to reconcile communism with laissez-faire capitalism.

Communism is horrible worng, due to not understanding how people think,
Libertariasm is horrible and frightning in reality far worse than neo-liberalism
its just the dreams and fantasies of spoilt rich people that dont want a government to nanny them.
Anarchism is not understood very well, you probably assumed libertariansm to be a flavour of it, didnt you,.
I still think anarchists are pipe-dreamers, otherwise can you point a period or place in history where it was successfully applied?
This is such an interesting topic when you know that Africa is for the most part inhabited by peoples of communities .
In Europe , France for example has had its revolution , where the CITIZEN , his rights and responsiblities are tremendously put forth almost religiously . Then they had the industrial revolution , which created this capitalism we know today based on the individual not the community . Now I understand as Gurey may be eluding to , that the problem with the some European universalist is that they may want to agressively want to export those notions , which essentially what the French colonial idea was , as opposed the the more self absorbed anglo saxon one that kept a minimal foortprint in places like Somaliland , which turned out to be a good thing for us .
Personally I believe in democracy for the masses ,where every man is given a share in it . Now of course we can tweak it depending on the region , but I believe in horizontal linearity just like my people , the troublesome somalis .
