General Assembly

A completely useless and parasitic body that does; it takes up space and wastes time.

Brad Vasoli was elected as a represenative to the General Assembly, boy will he fit in.

Assembly Line

The act of having a circle of Gay Men all having sex with each other creating a circle of anal penetration and being penetrated.

We assume it would take at least 7 men to form a traditional assembly line.

Assemblage 23

An American EBM electronic solo act formed in 1988 by Tom Shear. Another notable artist of the futurepop genre. Also one of the best bands of the genre!

My favorite assemblage 23 album is probably Storm

Assembly Democracy

A model of direct democracy where the sovereign body is the popular assembly—a mass meeting of all citizens in a polity. It’s only feasible for small populations (like a town or a large organization). Decisions are made by majority vote after open debate. It is the purest, most ancient form of democracy, but scales poorly, leading to the use of elected representatives in larger societies.

Example: The New England Town Meeting, where all eligible voters in a town gather annually to debate and vote directly on the budget, laws, and local officials, is a living (though often declining) example of Assembly Democracy in a modern, albeit limited, context.

Assembly-Based Democracy

A synonym for Assembly Democracy, stressing that the assembly is the basis of the entire political system. All other institutions (councils, magistrates, courts) are subordinate to and recallable by the sovereign assembly of the people.

Example: Ancient Athenian democracy was an Assembly-Based Democracy for its citizen body. The Ecclesia (assembly) of all male citizens met regularly to vote on laws, declare war, and elect officials. While not inclusive by modern standards, it placed the assembly at the absolute center of power.
