If you can't trust your fellow pirates up to the point that you want everything to be publicly accessible... you'll never be able to put together a strategy that will not have been defused and countered even before you start putting it into practice.

Be that paranoid, and nobody will ever trust you enough to hand you their votes.

Maybe the Uppsala declaration is not perfect, but no matter who contributed to it we have to believe that they interpreted the available information to the best of their abilities to come up with what they thought might be the best possible strategy towards the fulfilment of the goals of the Pirate Movement.

Would we have done better without it?

Will we be able to do better with something else from now on?

Only objective analysis and actualised theoretical modelling can tell.


Antonio.
