If no one wished to partake in the holiday of fools and be a part of the system, who would there be to rule? Then you would have what we call a revolution.

Yet another post that's gone off course thanks to your agenda of talking about the same thing in every thread.

Refusing to vote would not be a revolution. There are contingencies in place for that. As I said before, legislative bodies would appoint officeholders. Same system, same rules, no input from the mass of people. Where's the revolution?

If there is no government by the "people" ( i.e. no centralized ruling authority that uses coercion), there wouldn't be "voting" or "appointing".

You are really missing the point, for government, as defined by most anarchists, and me, is a coercive territorial monopoly of force.

Instead of it serving the "people", an abstract entity, it is a life unto its own, in which the people serve the government. If you remember your history lesson, government was created to "serve the people", yet somehow has dilineated from that role.

"Comparative government", wouldn't be that, since all will be privatized, from legislation, to police, to firemen, in other words there is choice, it is not compulsory nor is there coercion to participate in one system, you are free to leave since all exchanges, as in the market economy, are voluntary, and in order to gain in the market, you cooperate.
