    Please explain your alternative to liberal democracy that “pushes the hole-drillers overboard”. I’m happy to hear how it’s different from fascism. This is the price we pay for living for living in a liberal democracy that allows dissent.

      There’s dissent and then there’s actively working to make sure liberal democracy devolves into far-right fascism. In a functional democracy, it doesn’t matter how many hole-drillers there are. Hell, you can be a hole-driller and it wouldn’t make any difference because you will always be outnumbered by the people who are bailing. What we have currently are hole-drillers who are sabotaging the buckets to make sure the bailers can’t get enough water out of the boat, as well as drilling holes.

      I don’t discuss alternatives with people who refuse to admit that there’s absolutely nothing democratic about (so-called) “liberal democracy.”

      Sooo… howzabout it?

        Well I would be happy to hear your alternative. I’m ideology shopping right now actually. But personally, I think the interests of capital should be represented in any system and that doesn’t make it not democratic for me.
