Fellow voluntaryists and anarchists, don't fall to the dark side!

Yes, I'm advocating for people not to vote, because it legitimizes anything and everything politicians pass as law. I don't want to empower a system that operates under the idea that those in government can do whatever they want as long as they give themselves permission via "law".

So your stance is that lower voter turnouts result in the public perceiving the acts of the government as less legitimate thus reducing their power?

That's part of it, but I mostly want people to stop viewing governments as legitimate at all. I submitted a very short post about it here:
