You're not wrong. It's sort of what I was alluding to with the whole "you can't just smash the state" comment. Kudos for providing a citation for an idea that's been bouncing around my head for a long while now, hopefully I'll remember the name this time. Certain things should not actually be under democratic control. Changing out the door lock, for example, has absolutely no reason to be a thing that should require a vote, because it only affects you. The whole concept of an HOA is a parody of the democratic form, because it involves forcing people to agree on things where agreement is not actually necessary. This is not liberty, it is tyranny.
