Thanks Tom
I've been working on the TDG for 24 years. Many slogans have been applied:
A Kinder, Wiser Democracy
People, not Parties
Be the 1% to Change the World
Replacing Western Democracy
Governing Ourselves in the 21st Century
How an Average American Changes America
And there's a few more I can't pull off my memory banks at this moment. I have spent several thousand $$$ in Google and FB ads. Different graphics with different slogans were tried. In 2018, I even hired a professional FB marketing firm and gave it a green light to do their best as they saw fit. The result for all efforts: zippo!
I've had conversations with at least 1000 people on internet forums. If I can't get them into the TDG, it is usually for one of these reasons:

I have about 1400 reads of my flagship article on Medium. Most of those come from my cross-posting efforts. About 60 comments, most of them quite well thought out. I have addressed each comment. My Medium efforts, I believe, have resulted in about 15 lukewarm fans on Medium: "This TDG is great idea, Dave. When you build it, give us a call."
The TDG just ain't gonna be built this way. It requires many people to put in about 10 hours a month.
AND THAT IS THE WAY IT HAS TO BE BUILT
It seems strange that many people can see the patient is sick and the town's doctors can't cure the patient. Yet the people won't consider what the doctor from out of town has to say. I would say that is a sign of a huge collective mental illness.
I shall keep plugging along.

I am reluctant to use the word "anarchy" because of the conflict between its philosophical and common definitions.
When the TDG is built, we will still needs laws and mechanisms to enforce those laws. Maybe a century after the TDG is built, we can move in more pure version of anarchy, philosophicially speaking.
