Democracy
A group decision procedure where voting chooses the rules. Vote cannot create consent; actions that violate boundaries still create victims even if supported by a majority.
Frequently asked
So democracy is bad?
Democracy is a decision procedure, not a moral principle. It is useful when a group that has already consented to abide by majority rule needs to make a shared decision. It becomes illegitimate when it is used to override individual rights — voting to take someone's property is still theft, even if 51% agree. The framework does not oppose voting; it opposes treating votes as if they create consent where none was given.
