I can only speak for myself. I live in a democracy where anyone who wants can openly discuss critique of the goverment. We have the right to elect our politicians and even vote new laws into our constitution or vote against a new law the parlament discussed on. Therefore I feel myself as part of a big community we have in our country. With different opinions. But with lot of common ground to life together. On for this common values I pay my taxes. And I am part of the process on what my tax money is used for. For dignity and chances.

You opened your reply with "I can only speak for myself".
This is correct. The problem with democracy is someone else speaks for you, then they steal your money and do with it as they please.
Our current system is built on violence.
I want to like in a system built on voluntary interaction.
But I am glad you are happy with the system you under. Many seem to be or else have not given it much thought.
I am not one of those people.
