And just because that vote can happen isn't a mark against the system. The three other forms of government you mentioned are all equally capable of that atrocity.

If you ignore the psychological disadvantage of the killers having a monopoly on 'legitimate' violence. For instance, in some anarchistic type scenario there is at least the upper hand that everyone understands the aggression of others is not granted some philisophical legitimacy over their own, and people frustrating these efforts will know their defensive efforts are not philisophically disadvantaged. Moral is an important component of self defense. It is easier to push many people in the cattle car if they think a legitimate 'authority' of the government has spoken.

What are you referring to exactly?

Earlier I mentioned 'constitutional republic, benevolent dictatorship/monarchy, or ancap kind of situation.' Yes some of those include government.

I didn't (and don't) think my paragraph conveyed that. But perhaps so it does. Either way it appears I'm unable to effectively communicate to you. I apologize for that. I do not think I am an able communicator in conveying my ideas to you, so I will just stop here and apologize for the trouble.
