Nice article. I have a few questions.
Why is a democracy needed in your opinion. I see democracy as the most ingenious mindfuk plaid on humans. Can you think of a better way of keeping the farmed sheeple fighting? You have 51% making 49% unhappy. Of course they will run for help, voting for an actor who promised he will do things to the 51% of people who made them unhappy. Even in "perfect democracy" where 99% forces 1% to live their lives as the mob dictates is nothing but a gang-rape in my opinion.
Not all governments are abusive? If it is not abusive, it is not a government. It would be one of agencies providing services you choose.
EOS and ETH and I think a few other cryptos give that possibility you presented as solution. The only thing is, it should always be through a consensus, not the rule of some people I do not know and never agreed to be my owners. This violates the NAP.
There is no need to fight, but to wake up and realize, there cannot be such thing as a government. You cannot give any right you do not have to someone else. Masses just need to find out govs are already obsolete.
Peace!
Yeah, good response. I think you got pretty close, but it's not quite what you surmise. The NEED for a government is only the need for those in power. You have a good point with the 51/49 split, divide and conquer is an absolute 100% legitimate and effective strategy. But that's not why you have a democracy, that just comes as a bonus (you also don't need a democracy to achieve it).
Did you ever watch the movie series "The Matrix"? If you did then you may remember how they spoke about previous failures of the Matrix code with humans until The Oracle stumbled upon a solution: giving people a choice. Given even a small choice, people accepted the code. A democracy works just like that. You are given the illusion of power. You are told that "every vote counts". It's the biggest bullshit under the sun. You stand more chance of winning the national lottery three times than you stand of influencing the outcome of an election. And if by some one-in-a-billion chance you did influence it, it wouldn't matter. All politicians are cut from the same cloth anyway(well, 99.9999% of them). Democracy is needed to keep control of the people while allowing them to think that they have a choice. I'm not even touching on voter manipulation, that is a topic that we could discuss for days in itself.
There are one or two smaller, more decent, more efficient governments. For example, I hear Norway works pretty well. But this is not something I'm an expert on. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt for now. Maybe there are one of=r two benevolent dictators out there.
The consensus you refer to is vital. As you probably saw, I describe the whole system in more detail in my follow up post.
I'm hoping that the "no government" realisation happens sooner rather than later. that's really the basis for the first line of this post - it's like the governments themselves are inciting anarchy. Crazy times.
