let's be real:
you are not actually living under democratic anything if "should the state kill you?" (social murder included) is a question on the ballot every few years
in that situation you are inescapably the *subject* of the state but only conditionally a citizen with any rights whatsoever
I boosted this, but really almost every democracy that has ever existed has been periodically concerned with which of its citizens or non-citizens it should kill. But I'm an anarchist and you're probably not so we don't have to agree about this.
@richpuchalsky
no, we're exactly aligned
i'm also an anarchist, i just borrow other people's language and analytical lens
