Still political economy. Geo(rge)ist economic theory, plus [email protected] is allowing me to expand my knowledge of Anarchist theory and see if the word properly applies to my way of thinking. I read a fascinating and enlightening article on how the foundation of Democracy is not the consent of the governed (many forms of authoritarianism can also be justified with consent), but rather the idea of the inalienability of rights, that government is properly conceived as an immediate agent of the people it governs, and not as a holder of rights permanently bestowed. That the people are the wellspring of authority to which it must constantly return to renew the delegation that makes it possible
I expressed it poorly here. The article was very good.
Hmm, I’m not sure about the proper way to link an article on Lemmy, given people from different instances will view it differently. Here’s the text I get when I click the link button and copy: Anarchists should rethink common vs private proper https://midwest.social/post/1391306
