People can choose if they want to shop at a grocery store. If a store has high prices or sells me sour milk, I can bring my business to another private grocerty store. Enough people 'vote' against giving that store their business, then that store is no longer in business. Public goods don't work that way. Thats why its important to vote for a judge or vote for a politician who appoints a judge. Whatever system you support, you should strive for it to be the best. You are taking one idea that works in one place and trying to apply it to everything else, but the problem is that even though a method can work great in one situation it can fail miserabley in another. You're like a carpenter who thinks he only needs one tool to build a house; the hammer works great nailing the floor down, but good luck trying to cut that board in half. |
Ok, I figured it out. You love being ruled by people. Even if that person does terrible thing to you and the land you will accept that leader as your lord, even if he is only temporary till your next lord arrives.. You love the idea of a republic in which you can elect someone or someone can be elected to control you by someone else elected by people. Rather than actually standing up and taking command of your own life. And its entirely fine thinking this way, the only thing is you need people who will actually run things right and obviously the current system isn't exactly working.
