I don't thing the problem with democracy is who gets to vote, but *what* gets to be voted on.
We shouldn't vote on what people can say or not, what substances they can consume, or taking part of their fruits of labor as taxes.
Voting should just be on common resources, which means natural resources like land: taxing land, allocating part of it for parks and roads, etc.

Thanks, I listened to the MP3. The usual radical criticism of #democracy… I'm not impressed.
Do you buy that?
@tripu I do. Maybe you can just sum it up in this tweet:

Full-fledged #anarchocapitalism, uh? :)
I lean #libertarian too, but I am also sceptical about the viability of the most radical ideas. #Minarchism at most is what I think could work in practice...

Not sure what you mean by “smaller than most provinces“; the point is not geographical size, but % of the #state relative to GDP, and no. and scope of #laws.
eg, in #Spain, just by removing a few small unnecessary items (culture, sports, equality…) and achieving budget balance, we would reduce the size of the state by > 10%.
