A:

I understand that my claims may not have been supported with “cold hard facts” and that this could have read too much like an appeal to authority. To provide more direct evidence, let me provide some example case studies that have been conducted on these various forms of governance. For example, in 2017 Barcelona became the first major city in Europe to successfully implement participatory democracy into their citywide governance model. Likewise, rural communities in India have successfully used communalism in their decision-making since the early 20th century. Finally, the cooperative movement in Italy has implemented syndicalism successfully since its founding in 1876.
