    Democracy is a continuum, and we trade individual rights for collective benefits, like making healthcare and education free (and compulsory) for a better society. Americans just didn’t read the contract and individuals are now fucked over in favour of the state and its oligarchs. You can disagree with me if you’re an anarcho-syndicalist but my comparison relates to current, existing democracies (e.g. Belgium, Australia)

      Choosing not to vote is an inalienable right in a ‘free’ democracy.

      Belgium and Australia fail at both democracy and freedom when voting is forced.
