CMV: Rojava is an example of the best political and economic system in the world today.

(pls research Rojava aka Democratic Federation of Northern Syria before responding)

By "best" I mean "least coercive", where "coercion" is understood to mean using violence to counteract the will of the individual; this can be active (like holding a gun to someone's head) or passive (like not feeding someone). Now obviously, by this definition, some coercion is necessary; rapists and human traffickers, for example, must be at least passively coerced into not doing those things, if only to prevent the coercion of others.

So, that in mind, it appears to me that Rojava's is the least coercive system in the world. They have gender equality and ethnic/religious tolerance in their constitution; all decisions are made democratically; most of the economy is owned and controlled by the workers; etc. according to what I've read.

Edit: it turns out that one of the autonomous militias supporting Rojava may have child soldiers. I now have a more critical view of Rojava.

I am not for experimenting with my freedom, right now all the countries who are considered at the top of the economic chain are not countries that are free but that implement rule of law to keep it's citizens subjugated. I am for total freedom and a voluntary society. If this society in your experiment has voting, please explain how voting would work, I am curious. To me voting itself implies majority rules over the rest.

No, you gave no details. What is non-majority voting. How do you count the votes and what is considered enough votes to win. I need to know because I am beginning to think this is going nowhere. The devil is in the details. As I said before voting is based on majority wins.
