Courts should be elected proportionately

Government is not bad and so proportional representation should be advocated. Anarchy is not preferable to government because government is defensive (and conservative) in a manner similar to the courts. We can think of the government as an extension of the courts system... and it is uncontroversial to say the courts offer protection from tyranny. Most anarchists still advocate some system of courts but the government itself is a court controlled by the electorate. To be supportive of the courts is not to be an anarchist. Because anarchy is not a robust position we can say that government is defensive and good and that pr is good. If pr is not good then government is not good but government is an extension of the courts (and is defensive) so it is a contradiction to say that pr is not good. To be opposed to pr is to be opposed to justice and the courts because government is the courts.
