Libertarian counter-socialism is the only "-ism" that seeks unity and anti-imperialism through disestablishment of special-interest socialists!
In our representative publican system you vote away your vote, giving it to a publican, or you vote to vote away your publican! (politician in modern parlance)
Quotes from: George_Washington
"It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn."
"Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder."
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."
It is freedom of speech and expression more than any selfish and arrogant "democracy" that guarantees all of our freedoms through Liberty! Freedom to be united despite difference is contagious, you must preserve yours for others who unite with you to have theirs !
Good libertarian counter-established-socialist common sense about the paramount importance of unity should allow you to select the correct publican and/or condemn a biased one. Also the good libertarian counter-socialist common sense of your judicial system should enforce the libertarian freedoms ordered by our supreme constitutional paper-dictator of freedoms against corrupt special-interest socialist establishments.
But when a hideous oppressive theocratic tyranny like Marxist or so-called "Christian" religious socialism, Monetarian-monopolist corporate-socialism or Militarian terror-socialism becomes established it immediately seeks to obliterate liberty and replace it with it's established tyrannies
In our system an election is a pubic trial of the crimes of establishment, where we should acquit the most innocent and/or condemn the guilty! Our sacred polling systems are therefore judicial in nature, and poll workers are to be in all cases impartial jurists, just as elections should be open public trials.
Poll workers should all be chosen and appointed by a Court of local jurisdiction to meet electoral needs just in time for an election by the by Jury selection process and paid as Jurors are. They should never be affiliated with any party nor appointed nor hired by any political appointees.
Special Interest Socialist "parties" could scrutinize such electoral jury selections by challenging the prospective Electoral Polling Jurist in court. they could still have observers in polling places but we must never have party affiliated nor party beholden "poll workers" or much worse corporatist "contractors" participating in electoral jurist conduct nor oversight.
In our version of 'democracy' an election is a trial of the Representative Publicans by the people! We dismiss the guilty and thus agree to forfeit and give our democratic rights to the innocent.
It is ONLY the security and independence of the process itself (blind justice) that can ONLY fairly guarantee the faithful tally! Having people with political agendas or political appointees put in charge of that/those tasks is totally wrong, and the critical flaw in the current system.
While it would be nice to be able to reassure yourself of how your vote was registered (long after the fact) only a paper ballot you put in the secure box can do that. It's the security of those ballots (there is none electronically) and the security of how they are tallied and archived that is the flaw. Politicians and their political appointees, established political party members and corporatists should have no hand in those tasks without independent oversight by honest, responsible, unbiased and randomly chosen Electoral Jurists..
You know at some point in history some idiots in England got together and near-unanimously "elected" a tribal mafia warlord dictator for eternity, just as the people of France and Germany did upon several unfortunate occasions later , that did not make either a 'democracy', even though they occasionally were given things and pre-chosen people to vote for...
Representative Publican-ism is as old as the Roman Senate and no more a 'democracy' than is a House of Lords, or a Council of Nicaea, or Board of Directors or a Union Hall. They just seem to appear to work for the egalitarian good of the public, occasionally.
In any event any 'democracy' even that that is less than 33.3% dissenting, is still tyranny to an individual or minority, and that is what the paper monarchy (constitution) of Supremely Lawful and hard to change Libertarian -'counter-socialism' (Liberty against Establishment) IS ALL ABOUT
Dis- establishment -arianism!
America is a Lawful Constitutional Republic of Liberty - non judicial 'democracy' should have had as little as possible to do with it!
