Now obviously the difference is that in our current system not all people agreed at birth to be bound. Not that it's a small difference, but it's not hard to understand.

I understand why people accept it, democracy is at least a step up from monarchy or totalitarianism. The average person is more interested in their daily lives than abstract political philosophy. But im not talking to them, I'm talking to you and others on this board who seem to be interested in this stuff. We should be able to determine what is objectively true and moral even if the majority of people dont understand that there are other alternatives.
Do you think a system of majority rule is a good way to run a country? Why should people be thrown in jail for not helping poor people? How can you justify a system that is controlled by rich special interest groups?
