DEMOCRACY IS A MEANS OF SELECTING PRIORITIES AMONG PEOPLES WITH SIMILAR INTEREST

DEMOCRACY IS A MEANS OF SELECTING PRIORITIES AMONG PEOPLES WITH SIMILAR INTERESTS. MARKETS ARE A MEANS OF COOPERATING ACROSS DISSIMILAR INTERESTS.

(And monopoly majority rule is a means of destroying cooperation between dissimilar interests.)

If voting is used at all it should be a limited to a tool used among peers within political houses that represent the classes to make decisions among themselves and come up with proposals and requests made to the ruling aristocracy who also use voting as a limited tool among themselves as peers.

All attempts to use voting among groups of non-peers with varied and conflicting interests (separate polities existing under a larger umbrella polity [the state]) can be defined as Chaos and have always proven to be such.

Though useful among groups of peers that are equals, it is a tool of only limited and specific value and should always be used as such, it is otherwise dangerous. de Tocqueville saw this in his exploration of US democracy in the early 19th century, a number of the US founders were aware of this as well, but failed to create an operational system that limited the dangers inherent to this tool of very limited use.
