How does "liquid democracy" stop plebles from "democratically voting"
to steal money from others and have it "transferred" to themselves?

I.e., does "liquid democracy" get rid of politicians?

That doesn't quite compute for me sorry.

That will never solve the "redistribution of wealth" "problem",
although it may bring sanity to the star-trek duplicator "abundance"

be called the "condominium" market - i.e., the second home/ vacation
