Getting? My desire was to instill panic from day one. I seem to have experienced deferred success here, as my candidacy was intended to engender pandemonium.

This, of course, brings up an important point that I cannot ignore: despite their similarities, the words "panic" and "pandemonium" do not share a common root. We get the word "panic" from the Greek deity Pan, who caused such from time to time, whereas "pandemonium" comes from Pandaemonium, meaning all demons -- the name of the capital city of hell in Milton's Paradise Lost. I would be derelict in my duties not to point this out.

Must you remind me of this tragic fact?

Of course, I wasn't really going for communism, but more of an anti-industrial, primitivist culture which properly values language and tradition while rejecting Jacobin innovations. Sort of Wendell Berry cum Richard Weaver through Russell Kirk by way of Edmund Burke.

So, yes, sort of like socialism! Or so I can imagine the Rothbardians declaring with gusto.

What sort of participatory democracy charges entrants? This is an unconstitutional tax on public service, intended to exclude all but the plutocratic element from public office! I cannot be expected to abide by such rules.
