so we flip from militia speak to von mises language then.
it seems to me that the central question here is what democracy consists in. is it a matter of procedures? is it a matter of a polity being able to access information so that they can make informed judgement based on one or another types of deliberative process? is it a matter of representation? when can polity revoke a representative's status? every two years? every four? every six? at any time? or does democracy hinge on being left alone?
when are you free? what does that word mean really?
everyone throws these words around as if the meanings are obvious.
i dont think they're obvious.
so what do you think they mean?
