H.L. Mencken on Democracy
Posted by Socrates in communism, democracy, democrazy, egalitarianism, equality, equalocracy, Marxism, Mencken, philosophy, Socrates at 9:50 pm | Permanent Link
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
“Democracy, too, is a religion. It is the worship of jackals by jackasses.”
(What I hate about democrazy is that it’s an equalizing movement, just like its supposed opposite, communism. For example, Blacks, women and fags can become congressmen, er, congresspersons. Communism is equality with a dictator, and democracy is equality without a dictator — Socrates).

What’s in a name? All centralized governments in this disgraceful age rule by draconian law.

Just remember, a dicktaker always takes everyone’s dicks.
That way, there are no real blokes left. Everyone’s a wus.
Democracy has a mob of dictakers.
