    In history all Revolutions have always resulted in panic and anarchy, masses of people lost in confusion exhausted their energy only to fall again in the hands of new dictators. It will be always like this in all cases except one, the Last Revolution. The Last Revolution will be different and will start with a Plan. The objective is to obtain an order in societies which is fair (hence long lasting), transparent and functioning and not in the hands of any individual. One new Constitution for Egypt could be formed online law after law by the will of the people. Like also, referendum broadcasted Live simultaneously on large screens in the squares all over the Country could answer specific questions to decide what type of Democracy will exist in Egypt. This could be the beginning of Commutalism, a new form of government. Commutalism is a new concept of Democracy without politicians which is organized through the Internet to balance the needs of the Individual with the Respect for Equality. Commutalism is structured to provide the necessary goods for the survival of everyone and introduces at the same time a new transparent form of Capitalism to trade all those goods which are not necessary, like in a market open to the competition of all superfluous goods. For the sake of transparency, this new type of Capitalism would rule that each single transaction must be reported on the Net to become visible like an invoice made public and taxable at the origin with one fix percentage applied for all. In such system, all private properties and their owners like also all money transactions and trades of private property must be publicly reported on the Net. This is to prevent unlawful transactions and root out corruption through the immediate confiscation of those goods that have not been reported. Moreover, to reduce Greed and restore the financial equilibrium worldwide, it will be enough to eliminate the concept of inheritance. The private property of the people will return to the State after the death of each person to be auctioned among all citizens. People could spend as much as they want to educate their children but inheritance and donations would not be allowed. Once the survival is guaranteed for everybody there will be no need to be as tolerant with crime as we are today when the crime is a consequence of our corrupted system. In Commutalism, the right to own must be protected and guaranteed also for those who want to work and trade their own Time to obtain more than just the basic necessities provided by the system.
