Liberal democracy is a flawed system that keeps corrupt people in power as long as they say good things. Most people don't use their power of democracy nor do they care to. So the only solution is for the party to monopolize democracy. Only the party will make real decisions and the people will get preselected choices to give the guise of democracy.

This is presented as important world events that people should pay attention to. This is a democratic society.

I know there are schools within anarchist thought that are skeptical of democracy as it is understood today. But I never really did all that much research as to the why, so I wish to ask why do yall distrust democracy and what are some alternatives, since you guys also thankfully against monarchies and states.

In 2013 you guys wrote "We seek to break the State's monopoly on providing governance services in favor of decentralized competitive governance without a State. F*ck monarchy." Just wondering have you made a system that will actually move you to decentralized competitive governance ? What are you guys up to? Should we not be concentrating on building system that will start a decentralized governance or you gonna just be talking about it for another decade. Today is easy to build your own social channel just for that purpose .Is easy to build a collaboration system nowadays . So what are your ideas on this?

We live in a time when both major parties are increasingly embracing violence and by this degenerating democracy.

I consider this a flaw in democracy itself because democracy incentivizes the creation of angry partisan groups driven by emotion because it was discovered that angry citizens tend to be reliable voters.

Both democrats and republicans therefore created dedicated partisan media echo chambers and demonized the opposition, a direction that will likely lead to civil war one day.

Since the system is already on the path of degeneration, I created this sub to ask 'what's next?'

We cannot simply build another democracy after democracy has failed. What system can avoid the mistakes and incentives of democracy that are leading to this result, and still achieve the goals we asked democracy to achieve for us?

It for that reason that I began theorizing able unacracy, which you can find in r/unacracy, a system designed to achieve the goals of democracy with a system far more empowering than democracy, that avoids the problems and pitfalls of electoral politics by total decentralization of political power.

Some people see this sub and assume that the only reason one could oppose democracy is because one has anti-liberal goals (liberal in the classical sense, or we can say Western goals).

And to be fair to them, most people who have historically opposed democracy did so for that reason, because they opposed those goals.

But we here do not. This is a sub for people who love the goals democracy was supposed to be achieving, but are now opposing democracy because it is not achieving those goals and are now willing to look at other political structures that might achieve those goals better than democracy ever did.

In short, we can call this progress.

What are these goals?

• Protection of individual rights and freedoms.

The State under democracy has become the #1 habitual invader of individual rights. The very entity created to protect those rights is continually stripping them from us on pain of jail.

The State steals more property in the form of taxes and seizures than ALL private theft in the USA. The biggest theft of them all, inflation, is so hard for the general public to understand that you cannot make a successful political issue out of it until hyperinflation sets in because then the problem becomes obvious (see Milei in Argentina).

• Representation and political participation.

We have absolutely no voice today, no power to direct the laws of society. Those in power make the laws they want and voters have absolutely no mechanism to block laws or remove them after the fact.

The closest we can come is getting some random politician to promise to do X, which he then has no legal duty to do once elected, and as rule never do. For literally four years

• Rule of Law

Law is now wielded as a cudgel to beat society into the shape the political elites have chosen, meanwhile they enrich themselves at our expense, doing 'legal' insider trading, taking numerous 'legal' bribes, etc., etc.

• Economy prosperity through a free market

We simply do not have a free market anymore and the State increasingly picks winners and losers by policy creation.

What's happening is that the elites have perfected how to game democracy, how to subvert it.

Democracy actually performed pretty well when it was a new concept, because then the techniques to subvert it did not yet exist, they had to be developed over decades, over centuries.

And now they have been. 237 years into this experiment and we have a verdict: Democracy has failed.

Then what can replace it?

This too is why this sub exists. We must first be open to the idea that democracy is failing, and we can only do that by taking off the rose colored glasses and being open to that idea in the first place.

That allows us to soberly assess what exactly is happening to our society and therefore how to craft a political system that can act as a successor without making these same mistakes. That is the very meaning of progress.

The chances are that if you love democracyv what you actually love are the goals you want democracy to achieve, and if another system could support those goals better than democracy you'd be happy with that.

The problem is you're not aware of any such system currently. That's another conversation entirely but I want you to know why we here oppose democracy, not because we hate the goals of democracy but rather because it is increasingly obvious that democracy is insufficient to obtain them.
