#1 Chanted Democracy, meant it only for their side, not the rest of the citizenry. --Trailing Wife
An interesting video proposed that there are basically only two forms of government for humans: Republics (the Rule of Law applies to everyone) and Oligarchy (the powerful are the law) with 'Democracy' being an unstable state normally ending in oligarchy...

#2 And the cornerstone of that assertion is the question of property/tangible asset ownership by the individual.

"All property is subject to sovereign control by some human being. Someone somewhere has the ultimate decision-making power. When the claimant to property has paid for the property in full or has rightfully acquired the property through first claim, sovereign control rightfully belongs to him. If a man or an agency exists to which the owner must repair for permission to use his property as he wishes, or to dispose of it as he sees fit, then in fact he is not the sovereign owner, but some other man or agency has sovereign control."

#5 Something that clutters who the "classic" definitions of economics is too much emphasis on who "owns" property/properties. The bureacratic state has ably demonstrated that it can *control* property while still pretending to allow "private ownership" by simply issuing an endless stream of "regulations" and decrees.

Is it really a "private" business if practically everthing about how it operates is ruled with an iron-clad fist by unelected clerks?
