Indeed, "nuance" aka rationalisation is important!
Have you ever studied any local mafia system?
Unlike the armed extortion racket that calls itself the "democratic" government of Switzerland, mafias usually don't get all of their funding coercively by threat of force, caging and exclusion.
They "tax" local merchants for "protection services", but they don't force the locals to buy their drugs, stolen goods, or other "unregulated products", don't force locals to frequent their prostitutes, underground gambling venues or use any other " public services".
Unlike the likes of Switzerland gangsterment, they don't "conscript" locals into their armed gang members temporarily at "public expense" to learn how to defend the gang from other gangs, or force those unfit for "conscription" into "civilian service" or years of punitive, additional "taxes".
Any mafia mass murders or theft pale in comparison of scale and scope to those of traditional gangsterment, including democracy cults.
Do study the nuanced operations of mafia groups, as potentially even better, more voluntary - though certainly not perfect - systems of rather local government and security.
You live in the UK. You live in a mafia state too.
Let's build a better alternative, that's what we should focus on.
On that we can agree!👍
Shilling an armed gang 100% funded by coercion and brainwash, and arguing that form of robbery to be a good system, because the "majority" "democratically voted" to make that "legal", is by definition not a better alternative for sure.
It's not a step in the right direction either, as #USA experiment plainly shows us: something that starts as a crime by a tiny elite under their legal system, cannot magically turn into a " Nation of Laws" and "best system of government ever devised".
The #Suisse system is just as fake a #freedom and #liberty paradise as the #USA!
