@TheEnmineer Thanks for the response.
1. Of course, you start with the most fundamental truths when making rules and then splinter it off into more and more practical specificity as far as you can. Until the rules get into the individual communities, families, and individuals etc. maximizing both collective and individual rights.
2. Ancient greece was not whatsoever an example of pure democracy, nor is "mob rule" an example of pure democracy. I don't advocate for majoritarianism. I advocate for a system where consensus is the ultimate ideal, and compromises are made to have as many people agree with the outcome as possible. Here's an example: there's a factory with 30 white workers and 10 black workers. most if not all the white workers happen to be racist and want the black workers to be paid less. The black workers dissent and are of course in the minority. Now, the proposal must be changed to either have everyone agree on it (doesn't mean it's ideal for everyone, just that it's the best choice that makes everyone the most happy.), or if not possible, to expand the majority vote as much as possible through compromise and discussion. This way an oppressed minority can defend itself from a wrong majority, minimizing "mob rule" while also maximizing the will of everyone. This system you'll see is actually embraced by genuine anarchists out there as it maximizes freedom for everyone and abolishes non consentual hierarchies as much as any system could. With however flawed human beings are, no matter what, that can never justify putting less of those humans in charge with more power concentrated amongst them. That is always less efficient without the genuine and continuous consent of those they affect. Which we do not have now, since politicians are bought and sold mostly by corporate power even in liberal "democracies"
I hope this makes sense:)
