| Message | At current people are "forced" to belong to a democratic state whether they desire it or not. It is at once a right, a privilege and a responsibility to participate ion decisions regarding ones own future. |

| Message | Exactly! And if one did not want to be in a democratic state, he/she could leave the nation (which he/she should do), or attempt to overthrow the democratic state. However, because the majority enjoy democracy, it is very unlikely for such a person to succeed. If one didn't like economic democracy, not only would such be insanity, but that person could attempt to have economic democracy. However, just like political democracy, we guarantee you that the majority will enjoy economic democracy, and such a measure will not succeed. |
