>>59254134That is an interesting view, and I can see the value in it anon. It's true that those biodrives are part of what make us, but I wonder, if you removed all of them, what will be left? I feel like quite a few of those would be inherent to any sentient being.
>>59254168>The problem is the imposition of the will of the majority onto the minority. That is what voting is. I actually agree with this, and that is something municipalism attempts to address by letting people vote for their municipality, instead of the entire federation.
The only ways to cede even more power to the voter, to me, are forms of anarchy, which either: will lead to unacceptable losses in productivity if adhered to rigorously, or will lead to the rise of informal power structures that will centralize political power anyway, except with less oversight and representation.
The ideal of the free market has a similar issue; yes, if it could be adhered to morally and perfectly it would be a useful guideline, but in practice, it is far more effective to use one's growing economical power to twist the free market in your favor. In a stateless society, a corporation will create a state to improve its status. This is essentially what occurred in many "banana republics" in the 20th century. The power ends up moving from the hands of the people to those power structures.
