The solution to 1984 is 1973!
eran - I think you are confusing a kind of collective decision making process (democracy) which needn't be uncontractual and an organisation that uses uncontractual (coercive) methods to obtain resources (government). Most traditional businesses are actually totalitarian in their decision making but because the membership are (usually) subject by their own voluntary consent there is no problem. Government may use some kind of democratic decision making process or it may not but because it obtains its resources including membership to some extent by coercive means there is a problem but that has nothing to do with whether or not it is democratic.
