I said the same - if the people choose to submit themselves to the will of strangers, then so be it - so shall they be subjected!

Carried out to the logical extreme I guess I should allow people to sell themselves into slavery?

Huh.

This is weird.

I'd say it's different.

The main difference being those who choose not the vote still always have the choice.  They have a right they aren't exercising.

While someone who sells themself to slavery world be "selling" a right and getting rid of it. 

Right... and in order to do that, they would need to opt out of the social contract of an absolute Socialist Democracy, especially one started by Anarchic Secessionists.

So no one would be able to sell themselves into slavery in Butswania, if only because the condition of slavery is literally impossible: one could choose to stop being a slave at any time. What one would have is more like indentured servitude. In order to really sell oneself into slavery and surrender one's freedoms, one would have to leave the country and sell oneself into slavery in a foreign land where that sort of thing is deemed acceptable.

I think my anarchist state is going to end up being a bunch of warring barbarian tribes, which could be cool.

Maybe I can make a second country, and try to set up a benevolent absolute dictatorship...

Yeah, i expect to either be voted out of power, or if that's impossible have my country be destroyed by something totally preventable but wasn't based on the prevention being a violation of human rights.
