Democracy robs freedom of choice from minorities and individuals.

Democracy is a scam.

Unalienable rights and individual free agency are the true liberators.

Unalienable rights are a good safeguard in any democracy. Certain things can be made exempt from a direct democracy such as a rule that solutions may not target a specific group if its anti discriminatory for example.

Individual free agency sounds good and I lean strongly in that direction to. Done right its basically western liberalism. However the tricky part is what agency to restrict. We all agree serial killing isn't desirable in a society so you'f need some kind of boundary in place if you don't want a free for all.

A person or group of people cannot violate another person's unalienable rights.

Which I like but thats not incompatible with democracy.

If the majority of people vote to take someone's private property the democracy absolutely violates that person's unalienable right to private property. The majority rule has no authority over unalienable rights. It can only infringe or defend unalienable rights.

But if you make the democracy in such a way that unalienatable rights can't be voted on then you can have both. Its all how you design the system. Its why I am pro direct democracy, but with the required systemic changes such as multiple choice instead of yes/no and things that would destroy liberty / democracy off the table.

Direct democracy is very dangerous.

An Individual Freedom Democracy would work, where people can vote on something, and then those that want it can support and pay for it, and those that want nothing to do with it are not forced into supporting it.

For example, those that want public education pay for it themselves and those that want nothing to do with it don't pay anting into public education and get their education elsewhere if they so desire.
