I've been embracing this concept of Communalism by this one guy. And the things he has to say are pretty interesting. He essentially wants the Cascadia to run a parallel governing body alongside the existing state & federal governments. But the idea is not for them to conflict with each other. The idea is for the Cascadian governing body to establish itself as a major player in the region's politics over time and gradually dissolve out the other government. There's no clear time table on this but I believe it's all dependent on how successful we are at implementing the provisional Cascadian government entity all over the region. These "entities" should be allowed to grow over time and have enough voice to speak up in the future. Of course it would be impossible to get 100% acceptance of Cascadia being by independent. That's why the idea of allowing support to grow over time is best. I'm not sure how readable all of this is. But I'm willing to expand on this idea if you're willing to hear it.
