Technically true, but you're glossing over another way to approach this fact; we can reduce the number of "decisions being made by the political apparatus" as close to zero as practical.
- zigzigzag 10y agoThe decision as to how many decisions to make is itself a decision that must be evaluated somehow, at some point. But yes, I tend to agree, but this entire thread is largely just a restatement of the last few hundred years of left wing/right wing thought. Minimal regulation, markets, voting, these are all traditionally right wing positions. Regulation of markets by small groups of experts, distrust of the population, the desire for elites to keep a check on the people, these are traditional left wing positions. There's not much new under the sun.
