In other words, you can do whatever THEY say you can do, which is no freedom at all, nor democracy, either. But leaders pretend that the silence of the poor is in fact their consent to this state of affairs, which is plainly ludicrous. The Social Contract is an act of usurpation, a way for leaders to claim unearned legitimacy. Now, they even go further in pretending that the electoral system as it stands is your voice. Again, no freedom at all, here, and even less democracy.
Anarchists are the only unequivocable supporters of direct democracy out there, folks.
That's one of our greatest strengths, which is why we've locked horns with government for over a century. Society can function that way, but forget liberty, freedom, justice, and equality. Anarchy is the only way to achieve lasting, true democracy. It's up to you what you get. Everyone pretends it's democracy, but in fact it isn't.
