"Hitler
did not have to destroy democracy; he merely took advantage of
the decay of democracy and at the critical moment obtained the support of
the many to whom, though they detested Hitler, he yet seemed the only man
strong enough to get things done."
-- Friedrich A. Hayek, 1944 [ "The Road to Serfdom," Chapter 10,
Planning and Democracy]
"...
there is a passion built into a very large number of men to rule
over others. In established democracies this takes the form of candidates
for office determined to outbid their rivals in promising handouts or
other favors to pressure groups in their districts at the expense of some
unnamed minority." - Henry Hazlitt ("Is Politics
Insoluble?" - P. 117)
