Question: “Over the years in my short lifetime, I have begun to see the truth in how the bigger a government gets, the more injustice and oppression occurs. I have put a lot of thought into ways in which we can decentralize national/federal governments and one of the solutions I keep coming back to is a form of direct democracy that uses our current IT technology in place of the ancient Greek forums to replace the executive branches of government. Bureaucratic institutions would obviously still need qualified individuals heading them, so for them I would propose breaking them down into 'crown corporations' that act independently with elected officials at the helm. What are your thoughts on a system like this?”

What if....

You take 14 mirrors, paint 5 of them purple, release 27 parakeets, we all wear an eye patch, and we use our new maritime technology to freeze all the lakes to solid ice.

Then can we initiate aggression on each other?

If not, can we at least still call it government?

Democracy: two drifters have as many votes as two hardworking, ethical, intelligent men. The mob is the worst kind of tyrant. The authority corrupts. Freedom from authority oppression - while keeping everyone's freedom - can be achieved only through anarcho-capitalism.
