RE: So is taxation theft?

in #taxationistheft7 years ago

Put the power of votes on blockchain tech. Laws would be voted on by all people belonging to a blockchain creating a virtual entity (just like a state or company) but with legitimacy for all its members "citizens". All citizens would have the right to vote for, against or abstain from a raised issue. Give the people the right to change their vote in realtime and make sure only living people are counted for the votes (laws should not be made by them). Laws would be enforced only if accepted by the majority of people and all laws must be transparent. This would eliminate government and truly empower citizens to be both lawmakers, law students and law enforcers (if a critical mass is reached to actually form an independent body with a referendum).
Of course, in monarchy one person would have the power to override any number of votes cast, in an oligarchy a smaller group of "elites" would have the same effect. To make it truly democratic you would need to ensure active participation of all members on ALL issues. And this is where political "parties" would form, where you would opt to give your voting power to them (this should not be permitted at all!), people should not be classified in groups, only solutions, groups should not be based on favor for a certain person or group or ideology but on the number of people giving consent for something.
