So why not organize our system of governance as one dollar = one vote if you believe that deep inequality is the purest democracy?

Would you be in favor of that?

Of course not. I identify cronyism as an inherent characteristic of representative democracies but I don't advocate for it. I follow the non-aggression principle so no matter how rich or how poor nobody should have rights over others or their property. I'm in favor of going towards anarcho-capitalism and stateless societies.

But why not? If letting people with money decide is the purest form of democracy as you wrote?

Aren't you in favor of purest form of democracy?

I understand that you are a fan of anarchism but given that it's impossible shouldn't you be in favor of the next best thing?

There's no point in talking further you're either super dumb, malicious or both.
I'm neither, but you first call voting with wallet the purest form of democracy, but if democracy actually worked like that you call it cronyism. That's really curious.
