Democratic
(Valued De + Qi)
Description
Blurring social boundaries.
Progress, Equality, Autonomy.
Prioritization of personal boundaries, individualism, meritocracy, equality, progress, and the rejection of state-centrism, hierarchies and traditional collective norms.
Horizontal social connections, individualism — including the prioritization of the rights and freedoms of the individual over those of the state in relation to the individual — and a preference for free cooperation over any top-down authoritative coercion. Disdain for status boundaries, equality of people within society, and the maximum right of individuals to freedom of opinion, as well as to their own diversity and multifaceted nature within society.
