maybe property requirements for voting made more sense before the concentration of capital that we've seen starting in the late 19th century

Anyway I'm gonna get because to work

Back*

i'd prefer to have it split between workers, soldiers, and familial councils that meet face to face

@Death in June capital has always been concentrated

with executive power being shared between them and an undemocratic authority

not like it is now

Buisness ownership being a requirement seems fair, if we are talking about breaking up the massive governmental power structures that allow megacorps to grow as large as they have for as long as they have

Regardless, there needs to be more limits on whom can vote

prior to the civil war for example the vast majority of americans were self-employed

it wasn't even really a capitalist country then

because wage labor wasn't a big fixture of the economy

due to the diffuse ownership of capital

Wage labor via contracting is already becoming a thing now

If the regulations that keep small businesses down are broadly removed it would skyrocket.

it's not in the interests of those who initially win market competition to allow competitors to usurp them

Which is why they use government to pull up the ladder behind them. Which is where we are now so at worst we would be back to square one

There are limits on whom can vote, and those limits should be "adult citizens of sound mind"

Why?

Not enough

There's still a chance they don't understand the consequences of their vote @Eccles

Which is the main issue.

I'm not saying you are wrong but you need to argue why it's what it should be Eccles.

if you provide a service to society then you should have political privileges afforded to you based on that service

"Anyone without a college education doesn't understand the consequence of their vote"

Interesting

I mean since you applying a flat limit such as that

You are assuming they don't

It isn't a quote

But it's the result of your thinking

Lower educated areas voted for Brexit.

Lower educated voters mainly voted for Trump.

You point

AHHHH

Now those votes are costing lives.

Kinda proves your education point is bulshit

I see, yours sad you didn't get your own way

Loool

Too bad

Suck it up buttercup

I learnt that when I was 12
