There are several reasons why I don't think that would work, but as you say that's food for a different debate and I won't go into it here unless you want to discuss arguments. In it essence, I believe that the "state" as permanent organization is better to preserve certain interests and freedoms. How big it is, and how those called to govern it are designed is something entirely different and I agree with your critics to democracy there.

In that regard, I also agree completely with the idea of small communities being much better for everything. "Representative" government is a flawed concept in itself, and while it had to naturally appear with bigger communities, it just illustrates the fact that those bigger communities themselves are the underlying problem. Men are not designed by nature to live in such big groups. In groups, yes, in societies, yes, but not so big ones that you can't know well every other member.
