DEMOCRACY ON THE ROAD TO TYRANNY
NOTICE ARCHIVE - 03/10/2021

Conceived as the foundation of liberty, modern democracy paves the way for tyranny. Born for the purpose of standing as a bulwark against Power, it ends by providing Power with the finest soil it has ever had in which to spread itself over the social field.


Elected politicians are not required to behave in a manner they believe is consistent with the will of their constituents, nor are they required to keep the promises they made to get elected. Rather politicians once in power are far more influenced by lobbyists, special interests and their own personal gain. This issue, of minimal power in the hands of the people, is compounded by the fact that in Western democracies there exists a vast, and ever-expanding number of unelected bureaucrats, who are responsible for many of the rules and regulations which govern society.


This weakened resistance which arises from the belief that power resides with the people has paved the way for Western governments to subsume control of ever more areas of social and economic life and it is this centralization of power, not a tyranny of the masses, that may be the greatest threat to Western nations.


But even if one trusts in the goodness of one’s politicians the fact remains that governments cannot effectively manage economies, and that politicians are never wise enough to take over and decide social issues for millions of diverse individuals. Rather a society in which the government takes over and controls ever more areas of life is also a society which is very susceptible to collapse.
