The Vote Problem and the Private Boycott Solution

The state is, in the words of the German sociologist Franz Oppenheimer, the organization of the political means; that is of institutionalized plunder. Why, then, be a part of the lottery which designates its leaders? Moreover, voting is no duty and no contract; it is, at best, a waste of time. The fundamental solution should be self-evident: private boycott or the non-participation in the elective process.
