Arundhati Roy Quotes – Unveiling the True Crisis of Democracy!
0 Comments/in Arundhati Roy“Democracy, the modern world’s holy cow, is in crisis… every kind of outrage is being committed in the name of democracy. It has become little more than a hollow word, a pretty shell, emptied of all content or meaning.
Democracy is the Free World’s whore, willing to dress up, dress down, willing to satisfy a whole range of tastes, available to be used and abused at will.
Free elections, a free press and an independent judiciary mean little when the free market means they are on sale to the highest bidder.”
Arundhati Roy
Egon Friedell on the Dangerous Infallibility of Democracy
0 Comments/in Egon Friedell“No State can commit so many follies and deeds of violence as the democratic State, for it alone has the organic consciousness of its infallibility, sanctity, and complete legitimacy. Even the most absolute monarchy has limitations of a hundred kinds, in the personal consciousness of responsibility of the ruler (which under democracy is always put on the intangible “will of the people”), in the court clique, in the Church, in the advisers and ministers and “government circles” that inevitably crystallize around every potentate. Moreover, the fear of dethronement, which is theoretically always possible, affects every sole-ruler. But a treacherous circular reasoning protects the rule of the “sovereign people” from any limitation — it is in the right because it is the collective will, and is the collective will because it is in the right.”
Egon Friedell
