"There seem to be at least four degrees of cultural development, rooted in degrees of moral insight:
1. Autocratic cultures which define rights in a limited and oppressive way and there are no rights of political participation.
2. Narrow democratic cultures which practice political participation through representation, but have no or very limited participation of people in decision-making in all other realms, such as research, religion, education, industry etc.
3. Wider democratic cultures which practice both political participation and varying degree of wider kinds of participation.
4. Commons p2p cultures in a libertarian and abundance-oriented global network with equipotential rights of participation of everyone in every field of human endeavor."
