I would assume you should know what anarchism is by now, seeing how there's too many of us you pity.
So you didn't advocate for 'one sole government' but you do advocate for specifically 'representational democracy coupled with a strong mixed economy'?
Why have representational democracy and not direct democracy?
How do you arbitrate the size of this representation?
Why a mixed economy? Why tolerate capitalism at all? Why tolerate SOCIALISM at all?

You offer no answers but you still arbitrate on this specific type of government all the same.
Why not just let the people figure out their own solutions with their own community?
You yourself admitted that what works for someone might not work for the next one, yet you do not seem to follow this to its conclusion. Just what does my city have to to with Joker's city or HP's city or your city that it has to play by the same game of representation (or, historically in the case of my county, underrepresentation) as yours?
