The state can be voluntary

To have a state does not necessarily require that it be accountable to the electorate... we can have a state and government without democracy. Democracy is not a requirement for government. But then we must answer the question of who should rule if there is no democracy and the answer is that volunteers should control the government. It is possible to have a voluntary state where the institutions of the state are run as charities by volunteers. There is no reason to have democracy... and the disadvantages of democracy are clear: With democracy it is possible to deprive other people of their rights only because we have chosen to do so. There is no need for democracy even if there is a need for the state. We can have a state without democracy.
