 The peasants shouldn’t be concerned with politics. 

The peasant sitting at home on the couch having his entire lifestyle funded by the productive class has zero incentive to vote for what’s best for those that actually fund him; they vote for more benefits for themselves.

Anarchy or Monarchy, maybe strict Minarchy - those are the only acceptable systems.

Democracy is mob rule under a different name that always devolves the same way. https://i.nostr.build/xEO87.jpg
