Democracy's a cute idea. We should try it sometime.

More seriously, I'm not sure democracy works for anything larger than a small village, and as someone who grew up in a small village, I'm not even sure that it works there. Which is probably why I'm sympathetic to anarchy, particularly anarcho-syndicalism.
