organized in a certain way (for example, liberal democracy) and that human activity will adhere
to certain forms (for example if people were only motivated by rational self-interest).
False necessity uses structural analysis to understand socio-political arrangements, but
discards the tendency to assemble indivisible categories and to create law-like explanations. It
aims to liberate human activity from necessary arrangements and limitations, and to open up a
world without constraints where the possible becomes actual (Unger, 1987).
As we can envision “a new world” of direct democracy, social justice, equity inclusion,
fairness and economic egalitarianism brings the question is how can Community Conversations
and the social issue dialogue process empower the people? How would that look like? In practice,
the theory would involve radical developments in politics at the center, as well as social innovation
in localities where communities come to a sense of self-determination and empowerment
exercised.
At the center, by bestowing wide ranging revisionary powers to those in office, it would
give political parties the ability to try out concrete yet profound solutions and proposals. It would
turn partisan conflicts over control and uses of governmental power into an opportunity to question
and revise the basic arrangements of social life through a rapid resolution of political impasse.
In local communities, empowered democracy as expressed through the wishes of citizen
involved dialogue could envision making requested resources available through rotating capital
funds, which would encourage communal sharing and innovation. Citizen rights include individual
entitlements to economic and civic stability along with access to portions of social capital, and
decision-making rights, which would empower individuals or groups to direct policies and official
practices that currently are marred by subjugation that normal politics have failed to disrupt.
