History is, first and foremost, the propaganda of the victors. The victors will never be asked whether they have spoken the truth. The primary method of writing history lies in concealing the truth. Democracy, too, is essentially a consensus built upon this method of writing history. In the centralised, stereotypical, coercive, and totalitarian form we have attributed to it, democracy is the incubation phase of inevitable tyranny.
From a behavioural perspective, democracy is nothing more than a “short-term” preference of time management. It is a hopeless and foolish fusion of a high-time preference through the oxymoron known as “collective responsibility” and the tragedy of the commons. The inherent short-termism of democracy -which demands the management of the state and the public sphere as a public good- cannot be reconciled with the long term, since democracy based on the opportunistic mindset of “we are in power now, but who knows; whatever I can grab in five years is a profit”. Four to five years is not a long time for those who steal and those who enable theft. The right to periodically select incompetent and ignorant politicians who are masters of theft, aggression, and abuse, has not the slightest connection with freedom or virtue.
In all times, the most robust anti-totalitarian act is to speak the truth. If property and family, individuality and freedom, argumentation and reasoning, standards of comparability and analytical inquiry, ethics and aesthetics are labelled as “extremely dangerous for our democracy”, then that democracy must be obliterated.
