Lobbying and campaign donations can't exist without a State. Nobody is enslaved to a paycheck, you can choose to not work if you prefer to have no money. Just the other day a Nostr user was chiding me for not growing all my own food. You could choose the life of a subsistence farmer and not "wage slave" if you want to sacrifice all the luxuries that come with our complex economy.

"Democratically-run" is hardly desirable. That just means 51% get to coerce the other 49% while they call it "fair".

Pure voluntary consent in all things is the only world I'm interested in.
