In principle, no freedom is safe in a democracy, every aspect of the individual's life is potentially subject to government control. At the end of the day, the minority is completely at the mercy of the whims of the majority. Even if a democracy has a constitution limiting the powers of the government, this constitution too can be amended by the majority. The only fundamental right you have in a democracy, besides running for office, is the right to vote for a political party. With that solitary vote you hand over your independence and your freedom to the will of the majority.","author":"Frank Karsten","tags":["anarchy","ancap","coercion","communism","free-society","freedom","government","laissez-faire","libertarian","liberty","mafia","mob-rule","non-aggression-principle","politics","socialism","society","thugs","violence","voluntaryism","war"],"id":77773,"author_id":"Frank+Karsten"},{"text":"Lucy: Why do you want me to stay?Asher: Because I like you.Lucy: Why do you want me to go?Asher: Because I like you.","author":"Parker S.
