Is democracy freedom?

No. The method by which leadership, law, and policy is set has no inherent relationship to freedom, which is entirely contingent upon what laws and policies are adopted.

>freedom

Not if you live in a society surrounded buy cucks, and self hating whites that want diversity for the sake of diversity. Where liberal arts pieces of shit that will never produce anything for society somehow run societies ideas, or at least the majority of the society.

No. Democracy is mob rule.

The only way to achieve true freedom is free market anarchism.

Any political system can be "free", it only depends on your personal interpretation of it.

No, its just the way for the rich to have a grip on political process masquerading as 'rule of people'.

Yes!

tyranny of the majority. feelsbadman

The chief characteristic and distinguishing feature of a Democracy is: Rule by Omnipotent Majority. In a Democracy, The Individual, and any group of Individuals composing any Minority, have no protection against the unlimited power of The Majority. It is a case of Majority-over-Man.

Freedom is subjective

Beyond that, right or wrong, the majority doesn't necessarily understand its own best interests. It's not one big group of people voting for a group of people, it's largely a bunch of little people voting for themselves.

Democracy's greatest strength is its ability to justify itself.

A dictator has to either keep everybody happy or keep everybody oppressed because when things go badly, it is the dictator who gets blamed.

In a democracy, only a bare majority of voters - themselves a small portion of the population - need to think the other option in a yes/no decision is worst than the one they're picking and, if things don't go the way they hope they'll blame other voters rather than politicians or the voting system or, oh no, democracy itself.

A well tuned democracy is the perfect method of social control. The machine can abuse the people, and the people will blame themselves and each other instead of the machine.

Underrated post

And some people still don't get it and bitch about it constantly shouting that they want more democracy.

So they get democratically btfo again.

"I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America. In any constitutional state in Europe every sort of religious and political theory may be freely preached and disseminated; for there is no country in Europe so subdued by any single authority as not to protect the man who raises his voice in the cause of truth from the consequences of his hardihood. If he is unfortunate enough to live under an absolute government, the people are often on his side; if he inhabits a free country, he can, if necessary, find a shelter behind the throne. The aristocratic part of society supports him in some countries, and the democracy in others. But in a nation where democratic institutions exist, organized like those of the United States, there is but one authority, one element of strength and success, with nothing beyond it.

In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them. Not that he is in danger of an auto-da-f‚, but he is exposed to continued obloquy and persecution. His political career is closed forever, since he has offended the only authority that is able to open it. Every sort of compensation, even that of celebrity, is refused to him. Before making public his opinions he thought he had sympathizers; now it seems to him that he has none any more since he has revealed himself to everyone; then those who blame him criticize loudly and those who think as he does keep quiet and move away without courage. He yields at length, overcome by the daily effort which he has to make, and subsides into silence, as if he felt remorse for having spoken the truth."

>objectively subjective
>not a fucking meme

No it's not. It gives everyone a political voice, even those who want to take away your freedoms. This in turn leads to a tyranny by the majority. I honestly think that the only way for there to be true freedom is for there to be anarcho-capitalism. Of course there need to be a few laws like no killing others or stealing and some regulations that stop the formation of monpolies, but besides that everything else should be fair game.

To be honest, I'm not sure anymore if true freedom is even possible.

Anarchy is freedom.

In the best case, democracy is the dictatorship of the majority. In most cases it ends up being the dictatorship of a minority.

It is not the worst form of regime, but it is absolutely not freedom.

define freedom.
