You only hate pirates because you hate democracy.
We all come from the "land of pirates".
Pirates during the Golden Age (17th-18th centuries) created radical, democratic systems with elected leaders, written constitutions (Pirate Codes), voting, wealth sharing, and injury compensation, which some scholars argue were precursors to American democratic ideals, challenging monarchical rule and influencing concepts like representation and checks and balances, even if pirates also engaged in violence and piracy remained brutal.
Pirate Democracy
Elected Leadership: Captains and quartermasters (who managed internal affairs) were elected by the crew and could be voted out.
Majority Rule: Decisions, from attacking ships to distributing treasure, were often made by crew vote.
Written Laws (Pirate Codes): Agreements like the "Articles" outlined rules, punishments, and share distributions, ensuring fairness.
Compensation: Crew members received financial compensation for injuries (e.g., lost limbs).
