Why and When? Two Important Questions

“A deepening anxiety about the future of democracy around the world has spread over the past few years. Emboldened autocrats and rising populists have shaken assumptions about the future trajectory of liberal democracy, both in nations where it has yet to flourish and countries where it seemed strongly entrenched. Scholars have documented a global ‘democratic recession,’ and some now warn that even long-established ‘consolidated’ democracies could lose their commitment to freedom and slip toward more authoritarian politics.”
I am guessing you might think this is concerning, I submit that the question asked, is, itself the biggest concern.  The choices for the question for what type of government do you support are: representative democracy (quasi rule by majority), direct democracy (rule by the majority), rule by experts, rule by a strong leader or rule by the military.   But I ask:  why do we have to be ruled at all?  What benefit does being ruled give us? Why can’t we live in complete voluntarism?  This is the most peaceful way of living.  No person should be forced to do anything he or she does not want to do.  Simple as that.  If we follow that logic, we cannot have a government.  Government is by definition ruling over people with force, and is NOT consistent with voluntarism.

The crash is coming! When?  That is the only question.  Global market cap for all companies is nearing all-time highs relative to global gross domestic product.  The chart shows we are approaching levels before the crash of ’08-’09.  Beware!
