But they can’t vote and up to a certain point kids don’t really differentiate from parents so you are effectively giving adults more votes for popping out kids.
If you were stranded on an island with 28 5-6 year olds, an adult teacher, and yourself would you run it like a democracy and let the kids vote?
If I were on a deserted island I’d run it anarchically. I wouldn’t erect a state, democratic or not. But if we must have states, then we must also have democracy.
I feel like you are dodging the concept that children beyond a certain age are capable of limited self determination that scales up as they become more capable.

So you would let the 5 year olds die because you wouldn’t just tell them what to do knowing they were 5
No. I don’t think you understand anarchism.

No I’m not. I’m saying when they get to the age where they want to vote, let them.
