-"Democratic agreements"?!? There's no democracy in this, it's a proposal -for your faction to impose it's will on the rest of the movement. How do -you propose to structure and control these peace police? Who makes to -decisions on what rules to enforce, how to enforce them, when, etc.? The -spokescouncil method will see someone blocking consensus.
Hey- it's called democratic theory which has been working continually on building majority and super-majority rules governing internal mass process, but every movement has one :faction imposing its will on the rest-- when a minority faction breaks windows, they are imposing their actions on the rest of the movement that wanted a different public message for the action. The question is whether its a democratic majority imposing its will.
And those who hate majority rule are the individualists who always scab based on their sovereign individuality. Unions have always been attacked on the exact basis you are arguing, that scabs have their sovereign individual right to cross picket lines and fuck the rest of their workmates.
I disagree with your ideology.
