I'm reminded of that scene in 1984, where after the overthrow of the farmer, and the institution of "democracy", the pigs have now decided that they should rule over the other animals.
Our mission is not to create more committees and more institutions. At least I never joined with that concept in my mind, that the more *rulers* we have the better off we would be. In my mind in fact, "Foundation policies and resolutions" should not even be considered relevant. Neither should laws. Anarchy! Anarchy!
OK what I mean is, rule by the masses, pure and simple.

That would be Animal Farm, rather than 1984... ;)
Also, we don't have anyone proposing themselves as leaders - the assembly would be elected. The analogy doesn't really work...
