> If you want democracy, let people vote on who is a scumbag, investigate those people's financial history and if it's confirmed, ex-communicate them from society.
I may be reading your point too narrowly but it sounds like you are advocating for a judicial system.
- alexashka 7y agoA judicial system is concerned with laws. We'll always have scumbags who twist the law in ways to profit themselves. This system is so broken we even have names for sub-categories of scumbags who literally abuse the law - one of them is called patent trolls! That's why we need democracy - to vote on ex-communicating scumbags that try and do that. Law alone is not enough - I don't know why that's not immediately obvious. There's also the question of incentives - if you can't spend money you steal without getting caught, you're far less likely to be a scumbag and steal in the first place. These seem like incredibly obvious things.
