One where representatives are chosen and removed by everybody sitting around a level table, with open access to information and ideas. First you have to construct the table - admittedly, a chicken-or-egg proposition. Requires mutual cooperation, and not just an agreement that people should follow orders, to construct such a table.

@Geezer: the idea of a democratic republic can be a direction in which to move, whatever Madison, or anybody else, has to say. It's not a bad one, but it does involve controlling massive gaps in economic power and ownership, and the Democrats & Republicans in the US have no desire to tackle this in any meaningful way, either domestically or internationally. Nations are boxes, the walls ultimately constructed and maintained by those who serve those who run them.
Meanwhile, hell, maybe the Democrats - hell, maybe even the Republicans - can, occasionally and accidentally, provide chinks into which wedges can be driven - but you have to bring your own hammer.

I doubt if either Hamburg or "looting activists" have much to do with it - the government directly controlling the flow of information and opinion is is nothing new in China. But I admit the question remains: why now (supposing this event projected for next February will indeed occur)? I don't have an answer, but I think it's more to do with attractions of Europe and other areas, and ideas that may come from them, than with 'looting activists', or any sudden epiphany in Hamburg.
Anyway, I'm willing to wait around for February and see what happens - I'm using my VPN now.

I bet that wasn't it.

Perhaps the American republicrats, together with American Libertarians, together form one of the poles, from a globalist perspective? The conventional American political spectrum, within itself, is pretty narrow - it's an American box, outside of which few American voters seem to be able to take anything seriously - shades of American exceptionalism spread far beyond the perceived limits of that pseudo-religious doctrine. This is particularly dangerous thanks to American economic, political, military and media/cultural power.
