Sorry I don't quite understand. Are you seriously saying democracy is a bad idea and that you would like to live in an oligarchy?

  Private property and decentralisation are good ideas. 50%+1 liking the way someone talks doesn't mean that the person is fit to manage the whole economy for four years.

  Oligarchies are even worse. The point is that people who win elections, and political leaders in general, are a much more concerning threat than wealthy, powerful & unlikable business leaders. I'd be quite happy if governments had less power. People aren't threatened by rouge business magnates in the same way as they are by rogue public policy. A few years of bad public policy does much more damage than any businessman can in a decade. Voters & governments are seriously not good at technical questions like resource allocation. Businessmen will stop doing something if it isn't working, voters usually push on regardless long after it obviously makes no sense to do so.
