Default Re: Property and water rights?

[ QUOTE ]
Theoretically possible, in the same sense that if everyone in America decides black people don't deserve rights then they can vote to implement that. If everyone else in society decides they don't recognize black people's rights then they probably won't have de facto rights under any system, except a very autocratic one with a sympathetic (to blacks) ruler. What system do you know of that doesn't have this problem?

So, just to clarify: in AC land, the majority has the ability to take away the rights of the minority?


Isnt this one of the biggest complaints ACist make about a democracy?
