A village that has 12 people, you might be able to get a unanimous agreement on every point of law. THAT community can exist without ever forcing a community member to do anything he/she doesn't want to do. Free will and government might exist without contradiction. (Not really, LOL.)
..............
Once the village has 120 people, and 1,200 people, and 300 million, you're not going to be able to get unanimous consent any more. Now it is simply going to come down to which system you want, in order to resolve differences.
The individual members can then choose to remain within the village, or leave it.
Isn't it as simple as that?
As an American, I can give thanks for the system, live within it, work to change it within the law, or I can leave it. I'm content with that. Only 1 in 25 people worldwide are born in America. I'm blinkin' glad I wasn't born in Saudi Arabia or Libya, ain't you?

No doubt a Benevolent Dictatorship is better than democracy. All you have to do is guarantee that all the successive Dictators will be equally benevolent. Simple as that. :- )
George Washington coulda been the first one. He turned it down. That literally is why he's the Father of our Country.
