Are libertarian ideals compatible with democracy? I am a libertarian, and as I see history, particularly with Rome and Athens, democracies seem to always devolved into a tyrannical hegemony. This happens at first by the people, then by the elected, and then by an individual and as an individual rises the people rebel and establish a purer democracy. And we can see this through our current political system that our freedoms are being taken away by the people we are freely electing. And as libertarians, who are all about the greatest freedom, this question is presented- are libertarian ideals compatible with democracy? And if it isn’t, what would work? A small government with limited military control? A government based off of American judiciaries? I’m simply curious
