      Fascism ---------- Democracy ---------- Anarchy

      . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .⬆️

      . . . . . . . . . . . . .Vetoes are here. . .

      Vetoes are anti-Democratic, in the sense that they protect vulnerable minorities, from powerful majorities.

      Centralization, unification, and empowerment, makes power structures much, much more vulnerable to corruption.

      The ability of parts of the world to impose their will on the weaker, instead of letting them advocate for themselves, is what unavoidably walks the walk to fascism, literally every single time in history.
