representative, vs direct democracy
not that the whole edumication thing has been solved, but this shit clearly ain't working
Yeah so direct democracy can work for a town. And that works great until one eyed Phil (who runs a country made up of many towns) comes around and has a bigger army than your little town could put together. You can all meet in your town hall and debate about what to do about old one eyed Phil and his army, for all the good it'll do ya.
Edumication thing indeed.
So is this what libertarians think is a good idea nowadays?
