- Le post de Students For Liberty partage un extrait vidéo de Milton Friedman, économiste nobélisé, expliquant son scepticisme envers la démocratie pure en tant que règle de la majorité, insistant sur la primauté de la liberté individuelle pour protéger les droits.
- Friedman argue que la démocratie fonctionne pour des questions mineures via le vote majoritaire, mais pour les enjeux cruciaux, elle nécessite un consensus proche de l'unanimité, comme dans les constitutions, pour éviter la coercition.

“Government has three primary functions. It should provide for military defense of the nation. It should enforce contracts between individuals. It should protect citizens from crimes against themselves or their property.”
