Democracy is an impediment to the state

It is necessary to have a government if we want civilisation because without government we cannot define crimes. So we need the government... but we also need democracy because without it we cannot tell what the people want. Without democracy there is a risk that the government will encroach (into the economy) to a greater and greater extent. Even if they have good intentions. The problem with government is that there is a risk of communism and totalitarianism and we have democracy to prevent this. And this is part of the reason why pr is preferable to the fptp system. We use democracy to protect ourselves from the state but fptp does not give the full means to do this. We can protect ourselves much more effectively if we have pr. With pr only those politicians fully endorsed by the voter can get into power. With fptp it is possible for politicians to get into power merely by pleasing their party hierarchy and not the people. Democracy forces the state to listen to and respect the people. Without democracy there is no reason for the state to respect the people (the state does not fear the people). With democracy and especially with pr... the state fears the people otherwise it will not be in power. Democracy and pr is the means by which the state will fear and listen to the people.
