I am convinced democracy is the bandwagon and false choice fallacies masquerading as public participation in statecraft. What works well for voluntary decision-making swiftly collapses even at the scale of an HOA with the power to levy liens, to say nothing of state and federal governments taxing and imprisoning.

Such citicism of the status quo invariably results in being accused of advocating for monarchy or dictatorship. Yet they are the ones arguing, "We can't trust people to be free." And people too foolish to govern themselves somehow miraculously become wise enough to choose someone to govern their neighbors on election day? Or if people cannot go earn themselves, how do some have the wisdom to go earn all?
