Governance is a service and like all services it should be subject to optimization via market competition. But we have fundamentally different conceptions of politics/reality and I highly doubt either of us will experience a conversion from a Twitter interaction.
I’m not exactly ideologically allergic to state-led markets (I.e China). You heard me say market and jumped to the conclusion that I’m some sort of libertarian. I was merely referring to optimization via competing for consumers.

The kernel of this engagement isn’t free market vs alternatives. It’s that I’m arguing democracy and liberty are incompatible. And that the will of the mob is foolish governance theory.

Stop trying to rhetorically “own” me and try to understand these ideas. Not agree with them. Just understand it.

You get rid of democracy, and liberty dies pretty quickly. And the mob does pretty well.
