Let's be clear
I don't believe in democracy, in one sense
You don't believe in democracy
Nobody believes in democracy
You will find it hard to find anybody who will say
That a, that a democracy interpreted as majority rule
You will find it hard to find anybody who will say that if 55
Of the people believe the other 45% of the people should be shot
That's an appropriate exercise of democracy
What I believe is not a democracy, but an individual freedom
In a society in which individuals cooperate with one another
And in which there's an absence of coercion and violence
Now, it turns out that democracy in the sense of majority voting
Is an effective means for achieving agreement on some things
On things which are not very important
Really important things will require much more than a simple majority
