@jlou does he assume that democracy is automatically consensual?
some, like David Graeber, seem to like to redefine democracy to basically mean anarchy, and that James Buchanan quote on the beginning seems to suggest a similar thining.
though i think it makes more sense to characterize anarchy by the autonomy of all and souvereignty of none, rather than the souvereignty of all. there'd be noone to to be reigned over, after all.
