What I want is no voting, no government in fact! How can voting be a way of expressing that? I consider the whole system irredeemable, even through voting.

To me, it's as if I were in grade school, and a group of bigger kids declared that they were in charge of the playground. But, graciously, they let me choose which one of them got to run things! I'm not going to participate in a farce like that.

And before you say in a democracy I could also run to be the ruler, what gives ME the right to rule the playground any more than them?
