Democracy is really just a fancy word for mob rule. It's a word frequently tossed around by both the right and left wing. But let's examine what they really mean when they say that.
When a right-winger talks about democracy in a positive sense, he's usually talking about a representative, constitutional republic. Where everyone is equal before the law, and everyone has certain unalienable rights, like freedom of speech or freedom of religion.
When a left-winger talks about democracy in a positive sense, he's usually talking about mob rule. What this is, is allowing the 51% of the population to take away the rights of the 49%. If the majority decide that, say, black people can't vote, then it is the almighty will of the people! No more blacks voting! Oh, but that doesn't sound like something liberals would do, Midmyst! Oh? Well, what if the majority of people decided to outright seize the wealth of the rich and give it to the poor? Or to make it illegal to own guns? Yeah, you see where I'm getting at?
Democracy is just 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for dinner.
(Obviously, my support lies in the constitutional republic) |

I agree with everything you said on this thread, Although my ideology is Anarchism, i don't see that happening, and the fairest thing i see, is a Constitutional republic. Even the founding farthers of America said they hated the idea of a democracy What if 51% if a nation vote and the other 49% don't get what they want? No freedom for most people. |

Demogracy is still better than dictatorship (1 person takes the rights of everyone), Anacrhism (The most violent person takes the rights of everyone),...
Then tell me, what is better? Having 51% with rights or having 1 person with rights?

| The best government is obviously, as I have already said, is a constitutional republic. Where 100% of people have rights. |

2013, you clearly know nothing about Anarchism, in an Anarchist world, noone takes the rights of Anyone, there are small societies all bound together by a loose string of Laws that are upheld by the general public. |

| But you aren't allowed to start votes to change laws or plans then! For example: A city wants to demolish a building! But you and more peoples needs the building! You wouldn't be able to start a voting against the demolition! |

If you needed the building they wouldn't be demoloshing it
Also, for the china thing It's an ideology I don't expect it to work worldwide, if it works at all. |

Anacrhism means in my sight: Violence everywhere, groups are fighting eachother, nothing is organized, burning and damaged buildings, food and fresh water gets rare,... |

Then your sight is wrong
Anarchism is this, as an Ideology
Many small societys or larger societys living together peacefully, there is lots of freedom and barely any crime as the general public uphold a loose string of laws. |

Exaclty, they wouldn't demolish it if it was being used you idiot They probably would if it was a Democracy, where the Individual doesn't count only the majority but in a constitutional republic The individual is counted and has there own rights that cannot be taken away if it the old peoples home was being used, it wouldn't be nocked down |

Anarchism is just the abolishment of government altogether.
Basically what happens is what everybody wants to do. Perhaps everyone does their own thing. Or perhaps the people form communities. |

That is worse! So the city wouldn't be able to demolish any building that is used? Dilapidated buildings?

Since when were the criminals and mafia the general public? by your logic, if there was no government, everyone would randomly start killing people. Well 2013, it doesn't work that like, if there was no government, people would do there own thing, Hunting if they wanted to, work together in societys run by the Public |

No, no they can't what if the city has a Population of 20,000 people and 10,001 vote for it to be knocked down, are you just going to ignore 9,999 people because 1 more person wanted it down? It's stupid, even the founding farthers of america hated Democracy. |

Criminals and mafia are a part of the general public!
And i see you are very optimistic.
Peoples would start killing, blackmail or kidnap to get more power! It's not like everyone has freedom and a peaceful life in their societys! And there won't be greedy societys...no! (sarcasm) |

On a side note it is possible to win the US presidential election with 22% of the total population voting for you. That's not exactly everyone is equal before the law. 1 person's vote in Wyoming is worth the same as 4 Californians' votes in the end.

Human nature is to Survive, there wouldn't be leaders. There would be a small soceity running together for the sake of themselves, Power within all of them, not just one. |
