RE: Exposing The Mind Of The Average Voter + Discussion On The Harmful Consequences Of Mindless Decentralization

in #philosophy6 years ago (edited)

I thought you might like the following quote and the PDF that has it in it. It is a great read and a wonderful PDF for writing post about liberty and freedom.

"A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption and carry desolation in their way. The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the ambitious call, and ignorant believe to be liberty." Further, he stated that, "Liberty has never lasted long in a democracy, nor has it ever ended in anything better than despotism." In fact he believed that it was "democracy that pollutes the morals of the people before it swallows up their freedoms."- Fisher Ames 9"
