I am absolutely on the same page as you. I really don’t think the system we have in the liberal representative ‘democracies’ deserve the title democracy, nor can democracy exist meaningfully at that scale.
Local politics, local direct action, and volunteering are always a step towards a better future, but that isn’t enough without the structural changes you advocate.
I think that confederal municipalism is viable in the sense that, if set up correctly, it can work. Convincing more cetralised authorities to cede power is where it becomes difficult.
