Democracy Quotes – Reflections on Political Structures

"The state, rather, is a parasitic institution that lives off the wealth of its subjects, concealing its anti-social, predatory nature beneath a public-interest veneer."

Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.

"Government is the illusion of authority, but more importantly government is mind control. Naturally, since if you want people to believe in this fictitious thing called ‘authority’ you first have to mold the minds of the collective to accept this false ideology. This is what government is. It’s the illusion of some “official” group of people out there who get to tell everybody else what to do and how to do it. The truth is there is no such thing as authority, and government is an illusion that we’ve imposed upon ourselves from the irrational thinking of a controlled mind.

It’s generally agreed that the power of government ultimately comes from the people. Governments seem to have rights that individuals do not. And it’s agreed that it is these individuals that make up government. It doesn’t take much critical thinking to realize that individuals are granting power that they don’t possess to a group of other individuals who call themselves ‘government’. One cannot delegate a right that they do not possess individually. This is one of the fundamental reasons why government is completely and utterly fallacious."

Joe Dubs

"The tactic of the ‘Querdenker’ movement is to gradually fight for control of the streets. The police must act—and if necessary, use pepper spray and batons. We must not give them an inch!"

Saskia Lea Raquel Weishaupt

"If you have a government of good laws and bad men, you will have a bad government. For bad men will not be bound by good laws."

Robert LeFevre

"We must not forget how serious an infringement on fundamental rights a vaccination mandate would be. It does not only interfere with bodily integrity, but also affects an individual’s dignity if vaccination is carried out against their will. Given the significant uncertainty that still exists, I clearly believe that the individual’s interest in freedom outweighs everything else. In this situation, there must be no coercion to get vaccinated."

Prof. Dr. Dr. Frauke Meta Rostalski

"We can’t wait for mandatory vaccination to become unnecessary just because infection levels in the population are very high. Omicron as a kind of ‘dirty vaccination’ is not an alternative to a vaccination mandate."

Karl Lauterbach

"I'm not saying they're intentionally trying to shut down small businesses, destroy the middle class, transfer the majority of the wealth to the world's largest corporations, and divide us with fear and hatred. But if they were, what would they be doing differently?"

Notorious-celt

"Rage, my dear young friend, is considered the small, uncontrolled sister of anger. Anger is the shaping force of human civil society."

Thomas von Aquin

"There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning."

Warren Buffet

"And so, one must keep repeating the truth, because error is constantly being preached all around us as well—not by individuals, but by the masses. In newspapers and encyclopedias, in schools and universities—everywhere error is on top, and it feels comfortable and at ease, in the awareness of the majority that is on its side."

Wolfgang von Goethe

"The mass media are a kind of mouthpiece for the consciousness of the population. If this powerful instrument falls into the wrong hands, it can cause more damage than all available nuclear weapons combined."

Christian Faltermeier

"You can't rely on what is said before the elections actually applying after the elections. And we have to expect that this could happen again in various ways."

Angela Merkel

"True democracy knows neither rich nor poor! Only those with a truly ‘free spirit’, independent of money, possessions, servitude, and wage labor, independent of state or social constraints and positions, are truly free!"

Horst Bulla

"If a government can define how far criticism of it can go, then criticism is worthless and freedom of expression is an illusion."

H.-Th. Tillschneider

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

Thomas Jefferson

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around these banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

Thomas Jefferson

"Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are US government institutions. They are not... they are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the US for the benefit of themselves and their foreign and domestic swindlers, and rich and predatory money lenders. The sack of the United States by the Fed is the greatest crime in history. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will."

Louis Thomas McFadden

"We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans..."

William Jefferson „Bill“ Clinton
