>> are you saying that [democracy is] not really a better system,
>> but that you know how to personally profit from it? No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that it leads to a higher utility (eg less theft) than any other system I have seen.
Defining a political system in which there is no theft is merely intellectual Onanism if the system is not workable.
I can define Socialism as "a system in which everyone voluntarily works hard for the common good" and easily prove that it is better than the existing system. The problem is that it doesn't work in practice. That form of Socialism is unstable, and will immediately collapse into the form of Socialism which we all (?) know and hate - an impoverished, corrupt, fascism in which freedom is almost non-existant (except for the power block).
My (pragmatic) goal is to minimize theft. If your goal is to eliminate theft entirely it you will never succeed.
