19. And more camps
What globalization and experiencing with new structures such as EU has tought me, is that regardles the system, the level (from local to global and all between) of decision making should be issue related, but deciding wich issues and when should be decided on which level is awfully complicated and messy, the trademarks of true democracy. Big issues like global enviromental standards, guidelines for minimum wages and other similar social issues etc., obviously can effectively decided only on the global level, but I hold decentralization (or subsidiarety in EU-lingo) as the rule of thumb, things should be allways decided as close to people, at closest to local communities, as possible. What is possible is the difficult part.

So call me a supporter of global decentralized socialism. :)
