The founders never created a democracy, and to this day it has never been a democracy, officially or unofficially â democracy isnât just voting. As I see it, the original purpose of voting as the main mechanism of any system is to mitigate internal hostility, class conflict and the possibility of civil war. Voting as a mechanism is the peaceful solution for settling political disagreements.
These ideas that certain people should or shouldnât vote based on property or status is bullshit in practice â because it doesnât last. The right to vote ultimately belongs to people that have a willingness and capacity for organized violence, because if you donât give those kind of people the privilege of voting, you ultimately end up with secession and civil war.
Voting is supposed to be a mechanism that facilitates political stability, and I believe that mechanism usually works very well. But sometimes war and secession are necessary for long term stability and sanity, and voting then only exists to maintain an unworthy and unnatural peace among people that shouldnât be sharing the same country.
