Ochlo-democracy decided to put Socrates to death. I'm convinced political parties devolve into corruption by wealth "regulatory capture"-like malignancy in under-regulated, greed-driven, individualistic, low-trust societies. Sortition is one way out. Throw out the political parties, divide-and-conquer social divisions, distracting team-sport animosities that distract for 1-2 years. Instead, choose functionaries from professional societies at random to fulfill a 2 year term of public administration in roles that would otherwise be hotly-contested. No more political control and chaos driven by the 1% or the 99%. While that would mean an end of the failed democratic experiment generally, it would eschew fascism, kleptocracy, ochlocracy, and oligopoly. Just plain, random persons fulfilling their civic duty to keep basic civic functions going. Feedback from the populace would arrive in the form of comments, suggestions, and petitions that would be taken under advisement. Infinite freedom to choose criminal or actors to abuse power leads to no freedom at all. The so-called "this is the best form of government apart from all others that have been tried" is itself fallacious and a lie without evidence.
