Dear reader, you have meant that the figures for communists leader were high, you could learn the last week, that they are just amateurs. The CDU party member (only the invited) have voted for Merkel with around 98 %. The SPD has voted for around 94 % for Steinbrück So you learn the "hard"...

Would you agree if I asked "We all are "democrats" ....? Do you?.. Let's see what it means. Democracy means some figures are the "majority" and can decide for all. So let's talk our "beloved" Germany as example. We have around 80 Millions men in here. Let's...

PC (political correctness), then comes the phase off "the democratic forces" than it goes over to voluntary self-control. Then it's blaming everyone not for one self to be "undemocratic", then comes the end of freedom of press. And from there on it's not a far way to the army...

Capitalism and Democracy by Alex Merced Detractors to Capitalism often will make satire of the idea of "the invisible hand" as if Free Market Capitalist believe there is an actual invisible hand. The Invisible hand is a metaphor for much more beautiful and plausible idea; that the actions and...

Excerpted from No Treason, No. 6 As all voting is secret (by secret ballot), and as all secret governments are necessarily only secret bands of robbers, tyrants, and murderers, the general fact that our government is practically carried on by means of such voting, only proves that there is among us a...

In No Treason the democratic government is described as a secret band of murderers and thieves, it's members unknown to their victims as well as each other and made accountable to no one. In this sense democracy is a much more horrific form of government then the King who says "I am the state...

The language of contemporary politics, and of politics in general, is fascinating to me. Mainstream politics, particularly in the media, seems to be filled with deceptive and meaningless verbiage. There are a lot of buzzwords meant to spark an emotional reaction in people, and the meaning of certain...

I wrote this in a response to a question raised about 3rd parties in America. But there is a solution, I don't expect anyone here to buy into this as a way of saving democracy or justifying it, or any of the above, but at least it may help. It's the idea of an instant voter run off. you get one...

In modern political jargon, conservatives are associated with the concept of "small government" or "limited government". If this is interpreted to refer to the degree of government power there is , historically conservatives have not stood for it. Indeed, so-called "conservative"...

It is often assumed that centrists are good because they are not "extreme". Centrists are generally viewed as being preferable to the so-called "far left" and "far right". However, it is my contention that centrists are the most dangerous type of politician and that the...

Theism is not the only kind of mysticism. Collectivist and political ideologies are also forms of mysticism. The nature of politics involves blind faith in a "highest essence". The abstractions of these "highest essences" function as arbitrary authorities to appeal to. The most common...

As I have argued before, democracy in the sense of majoritarianism or a political system of phony oligarchal representation inherently violates liberty. I have also tried to emphasize that all states are inherently exclusive and out of the control of "the people" at large by the very nature...

Free association and competition resolves conflict while politics, especially democratic politics, enables and ultimately depends on conflict. All disagreements between people about how to organize can theoretically be resolved through free association, as they have the choice to either disassociate...

The theory of a republic is essentially that, in contrast to democracy in which there is tyranny of the majority and in contrast to monarchy in which there is the rule of a single man or oligarchy, the law itself is what rules rather than men. In essence, a republic is supposed to be a model for government...

So I put together some relatively witty definitions of my terms. If you're not offended by at least one of these, then you are awesome! Constitutionalism - The belief that a piece of paper drafted and signed by a tiny aristocracy of men is a legitimate perpetual contract that makes the government...
