Democracy is a tool for decision making. It has no moral stance in itself and does not guarantee moral or wise decisions being made. Voluntarism on the other hand is based on the idea of non-violence, non-theft. I. e. do not focus on democracy, focus on voluntarism. Nationalism = often democratic. Linux = voluntarism. Don't be like the nationalists, be like Linux.
