RE: Bernie Sanders - Voting Rights & Democracy Town Hall
i know reading and listening is hard for you, but try understanding that democracy IS freedom.

"Majority rule is freedom"...
Meanwhile global democracy would have us all living under Authoritarian Communist Regimes or a Hybrid of China's system and India's system... Gee, I can only wonder how free our pure democracy will be when the vast majority of voters are nothing but government loving indoctrinated fools?
Exactly.
You'd rather 10 people control the world or 7 billion? Minority rule (you're not the minority) vs majority rule (you are the majority)
Thats a slippery slope, what 10 people would control the world? Not even 10 people control the world today. Where are you getting this stupidity from? Also, I'd rather have control over my life especially when the vast majority of those billions are far less educated than me. I don't want imbeciles running my life.
Are you really this ignorant about oligarchs and their resources?
I'm aware of oligarchs, yet the oligarchs today are primarily here because of government manipulation of the economy, and their flirtation or outright support for authoritarian regimes (take Tencent and Huawei for example). Most made their fortune and used government industry regulators to either kill alternatives or make breaking into particular industries a larger uphill battle.
With that being said, there are many billionaires in the world.
The State is a manifestation of capital in order to create a society in which they flourish and brainwash people (like you) into accepting their rule.
The state is a manifestation of a collective who uses capital to fund their projects from wealth redistribution to all-out war. Your love for the collective is the very reason why we have governments in the first place.
What on planet earth does that mean? Why would any american want to go to war with people in the middle east? Right, they don't. Thats why the wars are so unpopular. It's the oil execs that do.
The rich oil execs.
Go off, king, tell me more about this conspiracy fantasy land.
The only way you can have a democracy is to empower a central authority to enforce the redistribution of wealth. This is in every sense of the definition Anti-Freedom at it's very core.
literally what
You just got hit hard with a Truth bomb! lmao
Pretending democracy and feudalism are the same things is so uneducated it hurts. They are literally opposites.

feudalism has absolutely nothing to do with the FACT that democracy is Anti-Freedom. Now go back to your drawing board! 😂
Literally said there needs to be a king for democracy to function, last time i checked kings ruled under feudalism. Keep going though, this is hilarious.

I never said anything about needing a king, Making shit up again are we...lmao I said central authority. Explain to me how a democracy can function without a central authority (government).
Mutual cooperation. A central authority is a king, the government is made of multiple people, not one.
That's 100% correct! It's an undeniable fact that Democracy is Anti-freedom!
Cringing

Joe Dirt, well, democracy is only as good as the people within it. That's why I prefer a republic. A democracy is as hypothetical as socialism, etc.
