Reply #21: Democracy and rights are INSEPARABLE [View All]

[MSchreader]

If the majority of people want to outlaw Islam, should they be able to do it? If the majority of people want to ban homosexual sex, should they be able to do it? Your declaration of rights is incredibly undemocratic because you protect the rights of some even if the majority doesn't agree. Democracy is terrible without protections of certain rights.

If these were to be adopted, how could you say "the majority doesn't agree"? Sounds like a BS argument to me.

Capitalism just relies on the rights of individuals to own property. Nothing inconsistent with our Constitutional form of government and capitalism.

... Right. However, it is entirely inconsistent with democracy. And, I put democracy above the right of an individual to live off the collective labor of others.
