It;s worth remembering that the only time the us military ever intentionally and openly bombed our own citizens.....was to bust up support for unions.

Democracy is a joke - it's a cointoss as to whether you'll actually elect the candidate you voted for [for example, I've been alive for 4 American elections: 2 went to the person who won the popular vote, 2 didn't. So that's as good as random]. Not only that, but you're choosing between 2 corporate puppets in the first place. A corporation can always just... buy both parties. It's not that complexThen..perhaps, the solution is to reduce the power and influence of those "free market" actors..not hand them more room to position at a reduced price? Giving the fox the keys to the henhouse leads in more dead chickens, not less. This is a properly basic observation.
I'm not putting any faith in democracy.
And sure, small government can be just as corrupt, but it has fewer resources so it's less powerful.
