even barbarians werent that barbaric
Decentralization is an existential threat to barbarity itself, to the savage whims of overlords and their power to enslave us, eliminating parasitic losses and enabling humanity to enjoy the fruits of their productive labor and the felicity of their prosperous company of free people.
barbarians were quite more decentralized and free than roman folk
Whatever decision you make at every moment is yours and yours alone to undertake, and no one nor anything can decide for you what you purpose, mean, and do.
That's also why democracy does not work.
A politician can also not do more than ask every one of us..
Why then do not let us decide for ourselves in the first place?

Your points are indeed well taken. I consider the Holy Roman Empire to better represent barbarity than Theodoric's Ostrogoths, and Justinian and Theodora of Byzantium yet worse.
The Pax Romana that lingered at the fall of the Western Roman Empire remained a considerably civilizing relic of Rome's Republican history, and Theodoric endeavored while he lived to maintain that peace, extending it for two more decades of relative prosperity.
Representative democracy is neither, IMHO. A mechanism Hive demonstrates all necessary parts of that enables both direct democratic votes, and delegations of authority on specific or general matters, as well as enabling funding of proposals specifically, that thereby prevents budgetary black holes and operations contrary to the interests of funders, is entirely potential to free people today.
Completely voluntary participation in funding and voting is potential of eradicating the vast majority of government abuses. It is something we should do.
Thanks!
