Nice try, but You conflate the process with the policy/position. It is not a "bulldozer position" to say "anybody can drive", that is an extreme Libertarian position. Bulldozer is not a position. Libertarianism a process.
A middle of the road position could be had through either bulldozery or vetocracy; furthermore, from the law or position itself, you could not say whether it was produced by bulldozer or vetocracy, you would need to know truths about the system.
- AnthonyMouse 5y agoI think you're confusing the process of changing a policy from the policy itself. You could say that getting rid of regulations is bulldozery and adding new ones is vetocratic and in that way be describing the process rather than the policy. Now imagine a regulation that requires the driver of a car to have at least one hand on the steering wheel at all times. This is clearly a vetocratic policy -- it effectively prohibits self-driving cars. But you could also have a bulldozery policy, like a law prohibiting homeowners' associations. The HOA is a vetocratic institution, so banning them is bulldozery.
