You can't outspoon a Spooner

I was thinking that besides American Liberal ideology, founding fathers &all, there's the influence of the ultra-left and left communism in this tendency of reconciliation of Democracy and Anarchism.

The idea of soviets, working councils, a "universal" union, people sharing decisions and the Power™... But then why say you are an (An)Archist? They imagine democratic assemblies and direct democracy as a form of technique, devoid of any ideology? A pure form to manifest the individual will among the collective?

I was found the student assemblies boring and the whole bureaucracy of taking turns to reach consensus was ableist in fact, the most talented speakers would drive the assembly to a conclusion everytime and then the official position would represent all the individual opinions synthetized as a monolith
