Yes
Diggers,
Anarcho societies
Certain collectivies and/or syndicates
… and others
But those can be democratic too.

Some of them can yes.
What’s your point?
Apart from not liking that I answered your question?
Your getting ahead of yourself.
I think we need a poll to decide if we should talk about it or not
I actually want to know whether free speech and democracy are inseparable. You haven’t convinced me yet.
I’m taking my cue from Mo Salah. Since his new haircut/transplant he will be travelling faster than the rest himself.
We could discuss aerodynamics if you are prepared for that.

I wanted you to answer my question. That’s why I asked it.

How on earth does anyone expect @cynicaloldgit to make any sense of this!
I think we have to set aside ideas from inventions, else this will get too labyrinthine. Simply because with ideas there is usually a debate as to whether they were ‘found or made’.
Can we vote on that please?
I’m waiting for @cynicaloldgit to do up a poll first
Just to be clear, I am from Liverpool and I live in Japan. I don’t think there was a Legalalien in Japan. That was just me.
I suggested knives and forks because without them us European barbarians would still be eating at the table with our bare hands.

I don’t need to convince you. Your mind is too closed off for that.
Democracy hasn’t anything to do with free speech btw. It might give you a voice but always sets ‘conditions’ most common is being a citizen often being a man not a woman and tends to be binary (yes, no). Democracy is also fragile (as are other ‘systems’) and the binary appraoch means it’s destructive and eliminates societies that are percieved as ‘different’. Democracy and Freedom of speech don’t go hand in hand as history has witnessed.
Anarchy is the ultimate in ‘Free speech’ you can think and say what you like and even decide to participate or not. However I’m sure you can not see this.
Anyway I’m not going to debate in this thread it’s not it’s purpose. So I’m not going to continue with this discussion. I know your ‘frame’ of mind and how closed it is so in your case it’s futile anyway!

Huh? All I’ve done is ask a question. Asking the question suggests a desire for knowledge, the very opposite of a closed off mind.

I’m going to put that with the earlier suggestion of the knife and fork under “cutlery”.

Have we had the internet? Debt (although the invention of that is pretty intertwined with the written language), printing press is another classic. I still the Haber-Bosch should win as the pre cursor for the biggest population expansion in history.
