Voters should not comply with totalitarianism

If we accept to some degree that to not have full democracy is helpful to the establishment then (despite democracy being good for the state) the establishment is not entirely of the state. The establishment by definition are not anarchists and so then we can deduce that if the establishment are statists who dislike democracy they are in some sense totalitarians since anti-democratic statism is totalitarianism.

When people vote for either of the first-past-the-post parties (Labour and the Conservatives) they are supporting the anti-democratic establishment which means they are complying with anti-democratic totalitarianism (all anti-democratic governments are totalitarian). So the voters are failing to take the opportunity of blocking the totalitarian anti-democratic establishment.

Voters should not comply with any form of totalitarianism even one which might appear to be as benign as the fptp voting system. All forms of totalitarianism should be opposed and for this reason voters should not vote for any party which endorses fptp.
