I've been in a multi-day extended (friendly) discussion with a socdem. They keep saying pretty much the same three things:
1. People will somehow vote "more correctly" under "true" democracy whereas under anarchy people will automatically become bigoted conservatives bc of localism
2. Examples of the failure of democracy today are just "badly executed democracy."
3. We need a single reified entity to enforce a set of rules, so we can have a "society."

@alexispurslane I wonder how they'd respond to the research showing that people vote *completely* differently when asked to vote for parties vs. policy points, demonstrating that voting in practice happens by identity and not by policy views.
