Democracy is a great idea. We should try it sometime.

Democracy is indisposable to socialism - Lenon
We tried it, it didn't work out. Let's go for anarchy this time.

"Democracy basically means of the people, for the people, by the people. But the people are Retarded"
Democracy is controlling the whole circus fromthe monkey cage.
Time for something new
No thanks.
Jimmy, please don't try to make it sound like we've never tried real Democracy before, the way that capitalists say we've never tried real capitalism before, and that socialists say we've never tried real socialism before. We have tried all those before, and every collapse of civilization was preceded by fiat philosophies like democratism and socialism.
Democracy is nothing more than 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. It is the ultimate rule of rulers without rules. A constitutional republic was better (for all 2 seconds that it has truly ever lasted), because it's essentially the rule of rules without rulers, where everyone has a voice and yet everyone's rights are protected. But people always break the constitutional rules quite quickly, as such rules are only as good as their enforcement by fallible humans. Or, in other words, even a constitutional republic breaks down very quickly into the democracy of 2 wolves and a sheep.
Perhaps we should try anarchy again, in which every individual and family watches out for and protects their own God-given rights. Unfortunately, I don't believe most human beings are mature enough for that, yet (I even have personal doubt's as to whether I would be mature enough for that). So, until that day, let's jeep building open source rules without rulers, with natural incentives built in, so even though the rules can be broken, no one in their right mind would ever want to.

Our democracy - what it looks like.
American founders didn’t think much of it, according to The Federalist Papers.
