Douglas Casey är en gammal guru sedan 1970-talet, nu boende på la Estancia Cafayete i Argentina.
Hans tankar kring att rösta i politiska val kan man säga är tankestimulerande.
Vi tar det på orginalspråket då det låter bättre så:
”Voting in a political election is unethical.
The political process is one of institutionalized coercion and force.
If you disapprove of those things, then you should not participate in them, even indirectly.
Voting entails dealing with bureaucrats.
Most people can find something more enjoyable or productive to do with there time.
Voting encourages politicians.
A vote against one candidate is quite an understandable reason why many people vote. But is always interpreted as a vote for his opponent.
And even though you may be voting for the lesser of two evils, the lesser of two evils is still evil.
It amounts to giving a candidate a tacit mandate to impose his will on society.
Your vote does not count.
Politicians like to say it counts because it is to their advantage to get everyone in to a busybody mode.
But, statistically, one vote in scores of millions makes no more difference than a simple grain of sand on a beach.
That is entirely apart from the fact that officials manifestly do what they want, not what you want, ones they are in office.”
