A comparison of normal democracy and citizen-ownership democracy

The proposed citizen-ownership democracy is compared with current democracies.

The new democracy asserts and recognizes citizen ownership of a country's common properties. At the same time, private ownership is allowed and encouraged. By selling or leasing common properties to private entities, a country will be able to raise monies that should be annually distributed to their owners - citizens of the countries.

As shown in the earlier posts, the citizen-ownership income can be very substantial, and can be enough to completely eradicate poverty from the country.

There is already the Alaska model of a partial citizen-ownership democracy. We do NOT need a violent revolution. We need just a political party to champion this idea and legalized it into the country's constitution.
