Bertrand Russell (1872-1970),

83. "I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious in general, and in the long term, than the monarchy or the aristocracy. Democracy has never been and can never be as enduring as the aristocracy or the monarchy; but while it lasts, it is bloodier than any of them. (...) Remember, democracy never lasts too long. It is quickly wasted, exhausted, and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere in History does it appear like that. These passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when they are unleashed, they produce the same effects of fraud, violence and cruelty. When there are clear prospects before vanity, pride, greed or ambition, to achieve easy gratification, it is difficult for the most thoughtful philosophers and the most conscious moralists to resist temptation. Individuals have been able to conquer themselves. The nations and the great groups of men, never." 

John Adams (1735-1826),

Ayn Rand (1905-1962), 

American philosopher.

87. "Bigger the crowd, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-class man occasionally makes his way, drawing even the crowd with the strength of his personality. But when the field is national, and the fight must be done mainly to second or third hand, and the strength of the personality can not be felt with such alacrity, then all the bets are in favor of the man who is, intrinsically, the most twisted and mediocre. -The man who can more easily and skillfully disseminate the notion that his mind is virtually empty ... The Presidency tends, year after year, to go to those men. While democracy is being perfectedCia, the position represents, increasingly closer, the inner soul of his people. We move towards an elevated ideal. In some great and glorious day the simple people of the country will at last reach the desire of their heart, and the White House will be adorned by a complete idiot."

A politician who presents himself as considerate and sensitive because he wants to expand government charity programs is simply saying he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who does not? And a voter who is proud to support these programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money, if they put a gun to his head." 

J. O'Rourke (1947), 

American journalist.

91. "Civilization, in fact, becomes more and more complaining and hysterical; especially under democracy tends to degenerate into a mere fight of madness; the total objective of the practical policy is to keep the population alarmed (and therefore willing to be guided towards security) by an endless series of goblins, most of them imaginary." 

L. Mencken (1880-1956), 

American journalist.

109. "Imagine a kingdom ruled by a kingCarl the Incompetent. The monarch has good intentions and wants everyone to live as well as possible. Unfortunately he is ignorant, negligent and irresponsible; he does not think carefully about what he does and makes capricious and visceral decisions without stopping to analyze its consequences. He defends vehemently policies that are not based on evidence simply because they tend to reinforce his public image. Consequently, their subjects do not manage to live in peace, prosper economically or live a good life due to the bad decisions imposed by the well-meaning but incompetent monarch. Would it be fair to be subject to the rule of King Carl? It would be reasonable to think that no. But what if those who imposed equally disparate and irrational decisions were not a monarch but an electoral body of millions of people? Would it be a fairer system?"

Hobbits are ignorant, have little interest in participating in the political debate and change their minds easily and with little judgment; the hooligans participate a lot in the political debate and are less ignorant, but they are tribal, have very skewed ideas and are as bad as hobbits when it comes to holding ideas that result in greater prosperity for the whole of society; Finally, there are the Vulcans, who are those voters who dedicate a lot of effort to inform themselves, ponder their decisions in a calm, impartial and unbiased manner, and base their decisions on empirical evidence. The only problem with Vulcans is that they do not exist. They are only an ideal that in practice is hardly compatible with human nature. Voters are divided equally between hobbits and hooligans.

Jason Brennan (1979), 

American philosopher.

127. "Even values of a transcendental nature - about justice, happiness and others - are within this type of system. Citizens must give their minds to the system, which is not political or economic, but a system of conscience. Democracy and capitalism are systems of consciousness. People do not realize it, but their mind is determined by these systems." 

Philipp Allott (1938), 

English professor of international law.

128. "It is a priori unjust and a violation of the rights of a citizen to forcibly deprive him of his life, liberty or property, or significantly damage his life prospects, as a result of decisions taken by an incompetent deliberative body, or as a result of decisions taken incompetent or in bad faith." 

Jason Brennan (1979), 

American philosopher.

129. "It is ideological fanaticism to take for good that regime that accommodates our government convictions regardless of their results. In the government of men, pragmatism is a vital imperative." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

130. "Totalitarianism means the total control of society. And except, perhaps, for a brief period in the history of Christianity, when the Church controlled the minds of the people, there has not been absolute totalitarianism. Nothing comparable with the current totalitarianism." 

Philipp Allott (1938), 

English professor of international law.

131. "If we assume that democracy is not justified as an end in itself or by its results, the symbolic value of having the right to vote does not justify the establishment of democracy." 

Jason Brennan (1979), 

American philosopher.

132. "The homo democrático should be so perfect that achieved such magnificence could be commuted by autocráticus. It would be a joy to live under the regime of such a beautiful soul."

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

133. "The totalitarianism of the democratic and capitalist systems is so developed that even our desires are determined by the system. We want what society wants us to want. Normal people are not aware of it, but their leaders should be, because it is a gigantic challenge for philosophy and religion."

Philip Allott (1938), 

English professor of international law.

134. "The hegemonic tendency within contemporary political theory is to elaborate such an indirect defense of democracy that it is incapable of escaping from a finding of its vices." 

Salvador Giner (1934), 

Spanish sociologist and jurist.

135. "A good proof that you have no autonomy or real decision-making power over something is the fact that that something is going to happen regardless of what you decide or do." 

Jason Brennan (1979), 

American philosopher.

136. "But if we have lost faith in man to the point of preferring to govern by an elective system, how can we aspire to an immaculate democracy by a homo superioris?" 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

137. "Democracy and capitalism are more totalitarian systems than Nazism or Stalinism." 

Philipp Allott (1938), 

English professor of international law.

138. "Democratic theory is a friend of democracy, even when it is covered in the analytical mantle and seems to refrain from recommending its benefits. As soon as we dig, we discover it, at least, crypto-normative." 

Salvador Giner (1934), 

Spanish sociologist and jurist.

139. "The power of our individual vote is zero. In all the elections in which you voted, if you had stayed at home or voted otherwise, the result would have been exactly the same."

Jason Brennan (1979), 

American philosopher.

140. "An idealized regime whose maximum expression depends on a superhumanity, say what you want but that sounds like Nazism." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

141. "I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." 

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), 

Scottish historian. 

142. "The numerical majorities are not necessarily inclined to the preservation of civil liberties; the demand for rights (and privileges) always arose from select minorities." 

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn (1909-1999), 

Austrian socio-politician.

143. "Just as the Nazis forced the Jews to wear a yellow Star of David as a symbol of moral inferiority, the right to vote also represents a symbolic value of equality that must be defended despite the fact that it does not give the individual any power in practice." 

Jathey are Brennan (1979), 

American philosopher.

144. "The aspiration to the democratic homo via the axiomatic dialogue constitutes a genocidal totalitarianism that elevates Nazism to a mere anecdote." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

Karl Krauss (1874-1936),

Salvador Giner (1934), 

Spanish sociologist and jurist.

Anonymous.

149. "The red strategy runs: doublethink, newspeak, Marxism, gender ideology, deconstruction, moral relativism, uncertainty principle ... creating logorrhea with a formal appearance. In that chaos, clearly defines the confrontation; rich-poor, man-woman, homo-hetero, revolution-conservation, father-son, penis-vulva, State-Church, religion-ideology ... Creating chaos and confrontation with red only needs to flourish thanks to the destruction of the others."

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

150. "That abstract democracy can become a voracious octopus that phagocytes the substance, the living wealth of a society, that weakens it, reducing it to a skeleton without flesh or blood, condemned to collapse at any moment."

Norberto A. Espinosa (2018), 

professor of philosophy.

151. "It is false that the democratic framework embraces any ideology while he himself is only a kind of game rules. The truth is that democracy is an ideology that does not admit positions confronting its axioms."

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

152. "The suffrage, that farce of the ballots entered in a glass case, had the virtue of telling us at every moment if God existed or did not exist, if the truth was the truth or was not the truth, if the country should remain or if it was better that, in a moment, he committed suicide." 

José Antonio Primo de Rivera (1903-1936), 

Spanish lawyer.

John Paul II (1920-2005),

Enrique Tierno Galván (1918-1986), 

Spanish politician.

160. "The majority is the cause of democratic legitimacy as the infinity of its texts is the reason for its argumentation, as swollen with hollow verbiage as the middle voter vacuums." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

161. "There are no signs of superhombery in the environment. On the contrary, man, by the pressure of the masses, seems to tend to become more greedy, less individual, more social and, probably, more mediocre."

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

162. "The mass overwhelms everything different, egregious, individual, qualified and select. Whoever is not like everyone else, who does not think like everyone else runs the risk of being eliminated." 

Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955), 

Spanish philosopher.

163. "If the mass was the number and if the number decided the formation of the governments, then the governments were by definition affected with the same damage as the mass." 

Santos Juliá (1940), 

Spanish historian.

164. "In the Orb, since the year 1700 there have been around 100 million deaths in armed conflicts. With the approval, for the first time, of the abortion in the USSR of Lenin in 1920, there have been 1,500 million intrauterine murders." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

165. "Mass is the average man. In this way what was merely quantity-the crowd-becomes a qualitative determination: it is the common quality, it is the social most, it is man insofar as it is not different from other men, but repeats itself a generic type." 

Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955), 

Spanish philosopher.

166. "Little suitable for reasoning, the masses are shown, on the contrary, very skilled for action. The current organization turns its strength into immense. The dogmasthat we see being born will have acquired very soon the power of the old conceptions, that is to say: the tyrannical and sovereign force that remains out of discussion. The divine right of the masses replaces the divine right of kings." 

Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931), 

French sociologist.

167. "The danger of the new democracies lies in the growing difficulty for thinking men to escape obsession and fascination. It is very dangerous to descend in a campaign of immersion in a very rough sea. The leading individualities, which our contemporary societies highlight; and the powerful influence that they exert, probably preferable to the cruelty of the acephalous multitudes, already constitutes a denial to the theory of the creative masses. [...] What will preserve the destruction and democratic leveling of the intellectual and artistic peaks of humanity will not be, I believe, recognition for the good that the world owes them, the just assessment of the cost of their discoveries. What will it be then ...? I want to believe that it will be their strength of resistance." 

Gabriel Tarde (1843-1904), 

French sociologist.

168. "Everything that destructive liberalism has of the past suggests to me: the struggle against religious and nobility prejudices, the expropriation of communities, taxes against inheritance, everything that pulverizes past society, gives me great joy; on the other hand, what liberalism has as a builder, universal suffrage, democracy, parliamentarism, seems ridiculous and ineffective." 

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

J. M. Mora (1968),

Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931), 

French sociologist.

171. "I have always had mistrust and little love for democracy and communism. Already in all the democratic demonstrations of years ago I seemed to see a danger. All large audiences have caused me distrust and, sometimes, terror. I do not think that a social mass can go to any good. Everything in it will be a bit brutal appetites, never noble thoughts or clear judgments." 

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

172. "A democrat is a communist in a blue suit."

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

173. "The electoral masses are characterized by poor reasoning skills, lack of critical spirit, irritability, credulity and simplicity." 

Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931), 

French sociologist.

174. "The mass, that when it protests is spiteful and of a ridiculous and puerile sentimentality, when it commands it is despotic and bloodthirsty. His moral is very poor." 

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

175. "If you see your country in trouble and nobody does anything to solve it, perhaps you are the one who must provide the solutions. If you decide, take care of the Democrats." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

176. "If the vote is given to the masses, there is a risk of leaving the power to choose in the hands of people without criteria; the masses have no opinion of their own and reasoned, but imposed by individuals who do not always have the best cultural training as to stop acting as political advisors." 

Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931), 

French sociologist.

177. "As I say, I have always had misgivings about the advance of democratic and socialist theories." 

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

178. "The left opines that Franco's tomb is intolerable, but of the Royal Crypt in the Monastery of El Escorial, with 27 corpses of Bourbons and Habsburgs, he says nothing." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

179. "Are we to suppose then that a restricted suffrage-restricted to those capable, if you will-would improve the vote of the masses? I can not admit it for a moment and this for the reasons mentioned above and relating to the mental inferiority of all communities, whatever their composition. En masse, and I repeat it, men are always equal and, as far as general questions are concerned, the suffrage of forty academics is no better than that of forty water carriers. [...] Before social problems, full of multiple unknowns and dominated by mystical logic or affective logic, all ignorances are equalized." 

Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931), 

French sociologist.

180. "Against democracy." 

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

181. "The left believes that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was an abuse on the part of Jesus Christ who was a: cool, fascist, macho and a vacilón, as well as capitalist and Francoist." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

182. "The other democracy, of which I have the honor to speak ill, is politics, which tends to dominate the masses, and which is an absolutism of numbers, as socialism is an absolutism of the stomach." 

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

183. "We hang the little thieves and the big ones point them to the public offices." 

Esopo (564 BC), 

Hellenic fabulist.

184. "Each man is to be respected as an absolute end in himself; to use it as a simple means at the service of an external purpose is a crime against the dignity that has been given to it and belongs to it."

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), 

Prussian philosopher.

185. "The mass provokes the individual who stands out: by envy, by stranger -in conquest or defense-, by stupidity or by genetic survival. This attack forces the sublimation that increases envy in a vicious circle that ends with exhaustion, death or the victorious imposition on the oppressive mass." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

186. "The modern democratic state is nothing more than a totalitarianism, and democracy the name of the party with which it manipulates this totalitarian state." 

Victor R. Azuaje (2018), 

Venezuelan blogger.

187. "Much of the collective antipathy for the individual comes from fear. Especially in our southern countries. The strong individuals have been restless and tumultuous, the herds above, like the ones below, do not want the seeds of the Caesars or the Bonaparte to flourish in our lands. Those herds crave spiritual leveling; that there is no more distinction between a man and another than a colored button on the lapel or a title on the card. Such is the aspiration of truly social types; the other distinctions, the value, the energy, the goodness, for the rolling democrats are true impertinences of nature." 

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

188. "At present, the demands of the masses are becoming more and more defined and tend to radically destroy the current society, to lead it to that primitive communism that was the normal state of all human groups before the dawn of civilization." 

Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931), 

French sociologist.

189. "I do not fear universal suffrage; people will vote as they are told." 

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859), 

French jurist.

190. "Universal suffrage is a shame of the spirit, equal to or worse than the divine right of kings or the infallibility of the Pope." 

Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880), 

French writer.

191. "Feminism, egalitarianism, anti-capitalism, antifascism, communism, democracy ... They share a common goal: to steal, kill and enslave, their goal is power for power itself."

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

192. "Given the adoration for the number and the mass that is felt today, I imagine that the future will be socialist; but, in spite of that, I feel a deep antipathy for that doctrine and for that party, which brings the glorification of the pack, the crushing of the individual for the rest. "In spite of what the newspaper representatives of capitalism say, to us ; doctors, lawyers, engineers, small industrialists, whom we want to work to live, we are not scared more by anarchists than by socialists. They want to convert us into workers; they dream of giving each of our men our little house, our little triest and any work to entertain us. "[...] If that sweet era of life in herd came, for my part, before occupying the number eighty or ninety thousand I would prefer to emigrate, to take refuge in another more backward and less socialist country, even if I had no more right than the right to the holy revolver."

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

193. "The only reasonable thing is a government of mandarins, provided that these mandarins know something, and if possible many things. The people is an eternal minor and will always be at the lowest level, because it equals the number, the mass, the unlimited ... Our salvation is only, in the present moment, in a legitimate aristocracy, and I understand as such a majority composed of something more than figures." 

Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880), 

French writer.

194. "All the ills that society suffers come from universal suffrage." 

Héctor Rodríguez de la Sotta (1887-1967), 

Chilean politician.

195. "Only when the individual disharmony ceases to be, when it loses its attributes of being exceptional, when the mold wears and vulgarizes and takes on a common character, does it obtain the appreciation of the majority." 

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

196. "It seems to me that the mass, the quantity, the cattle, will always be despicable. The only thing that matters is a reduced number of spirits, who are always the same, and who pass the torch to each other. [...] I am convinced that we are going to look like extraordinary people to posterity. The words republic and monarchy will make you laugh, as we laugh today about realism and nominalism ... The first remedy will be the abolition of universal suffrage, which is the shame of human civilization." 

Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880), 

French writer.

197. "There is an abismor between the free people making their own laws and a people electing their representatives to make their laws ... The perfect democracy can only exist in a society of angels."

Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), 

Swiss writer.

198 . "Nothing can be done without a head. And universal suffrage, as it is now conceived, is something more stupid than divine right ... Mass, quantity is always an idiot. It is not that I have many convictions, but I have this deeply rooted."

Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880), 

French writer.

199. "There is a limit in which tolerance ceases to be virtue." 

Edmund Burke (1729-1797), 

British philosopher.

200. "Democracy, which is an etymological joke that is the government of the people, I do not think it becomes an idea or an ideal; it is, at least in practice, a political procedure that I do not think has much value. This fantastic channeling of parliamentarism that makes 50 or 60 thousand men are represented by only one, is more like a religious myth of the Aruntas or the Botocudos than a rationalist idea of Europeans. Democracy, if it is not a mixture of speakers, it seems."

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

201. "Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), the lauded third president of the United States, drafted the Declaration of Independence in 1776, fought for the democracy of his country, promoted the separation between Church and State and qualified the slavery of crime abominable. In this last point the contradiction is unbearable. He never stopped having slaves: throughout his life he owned 600 people." 

Helena Celdrán (2018), 

journalist.

202. "The tyranny of a multitude is a multiplied tyranny." 

Edmund Burke (1729-1797),

Pío Baroja (1872-1956),

Polk, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson and Ulysses S. Grant. The following had not had slaves: John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchannan, and Abraham Lincoln."

Clarence Lusane (1953),

Etienne Chouard (1956), 

French professor.

214. "In practice, universal suffrage brings under the arm the most scandalous fraud that could be imagined. The trap of census suffrage was never absent, but now corruption, inflated by the growing caciquismo, will be the stamp of the regime."

Gustavo Vidal Manzanares (1972), 

Spanish writer.

215. "Universal suffrage and property are antithetical and will not live together for long because it is not possible ... Universal suffrage will always be a farce, a deception to the crowds, carried out by the violence and malice of the least, of the privileged of the inheritance and of the capital, with the name of ruling classes, or it will be, in a free state, and acting with full independence and conscience, fatal and irreducible communism."

Cánovas del Castillo (1828-1897),

Adolf Hitler (1889-1945),

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

221. "The originality that is the highest in life, is what the vulgar most difficult to forgive."

Azorin (1873-1967), 

Spanish novelist.

222. "I read, like everyone else, something about democracy, but I do not have a clear idea of what it is; etymologically, it means government of the people, but I believe - perhaps I am deceived - that the people have never commanded in the most revolutionary times and that they will not rule in the future either." 

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

223. "Authoritarianism? No, the true leader-far from the current definition of the RAE-is in self-defense -by the mass man-. And when it is authentic, it invests all its energy in surviving, safeguarding the lives and interests of others. What is granted, no doubt, has it well earned." 

J. M. Mora (1968), 

Spanish author.

224. "Abstract freedom, like other simple abstractions, can not be found." 

Edmund Burke (1729-1797), 

British philosopher.

Pío Baroja (1872-1956), 

Spanish writer.

226. "Universal suffrage, which is itself a very bad political institution, an institution incompatible with any orderly political regime, and more if that regime is the monarchical, universal suffrage, even if it is true (and above all must be true) , it is incompatible in the long run with individual property, with the inequality of fortunes and with everything that is not an unattached and anarchic socialism. Universal suffrage can not be more than an instrument of socialism or a vile farce, and, in recent times, it is, under that final title, as I have judged it convenient to describe it. Whatever the dangers and drawbacks of universal suffrage, it is useless to discuss it now. Who thinks, who has even said that, after Spain has voted a law of universal suffrage, the opinions of the crowds, the poor, those who have nothing, will be represented at the polls? Is there anyone who even suspects this? Why discuss universal suffrage? I have already briefly indicated to what consequences this suffrage can come. On other occasions I have discussed it; and, if it were the case, as a simple academic subject, I could discuss it again."

Cánovas del Castillo (1828-1897), 

politico.

227. "It is always dangerous to draw too precise parallels between one historical period and another; and among the most deceived of such parallels are those that have been established between our own time in Europe and North America and the time when the Roman Empire declined into the Dark Ages. However, there are certain parallels ... This time, however, the barbarians are not waiting beyond the borders; they have been ruling us for a long time."

Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), 

Swiss writer.

229. "They tried to democratize Nietzsche, make up, tame him. Nietzsche was never, nor pretended to be, a Democrat, much less an anarchist. It is a fable, but a fable institutionalized and legitimized with the academic stamp. It is enough to be able to read it slowly, a condition that its readers demanded, in order to discover the opposite." 

Nicolas González Varela (2018), 

author.

230. "I believe that universal suffrage, if it is sincere, if it gives a real vote in the country's government to the crowd, not only unlearned, that would be the least, but the miserable and beggar crowd, it must be the triumph of the communism and the ruin of the property principle (...). Choose, then, between the permanent falsification of universal suffrage and the disappearance of property (...). When the intelligent minorities, who will always be the minority proprietors, find that it is impossible to maintain equal rights with them to the crowd; when you see that the crowd prevails over the political rights that have been given (...) they will search everywhere for the dictatorship and they will find it."

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), 

German philosopher.

232. "[On Nietzsche] His practical philosophy is incompatible not only with socialism and communism, but with any idea of lukewarm liberal democracy. It is incompatible with modernity in toto. Once in his esoteric writings as exoteric, the published and the unpublished, as in his correspondence, mercilessly attacks the increasingly democratic, increasingly horizontal character of Modernity." 

Nicolás González Varela (2018), 

author.

233. "[On Nietzsche] Democracy is universalized to the point of suppressing every alternative: there is nothing outside it, since it solidifies as the only possible sense of political reality."

Diego Felipe Paredes Goicoechea (2018),

234 . "Democratic institutions are quarantine establishments against the ancient plague of tyrannical appetites: as such very boring and very useful." 

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900),

This became, in the 1860 text, "an excellent friendship, exaltation, previously unknown." The prophetic destiny of America must be realized through the establishment of the "new ideal"; Given that homosexuality is universal, the United States would once again become a beacon for the world. Whitman wrote in Democratic Views: "I say that democracy deduces so loving camaraderie, with its twin or more inevitable counterpart, without which it will be incomplete, in vain, and unable to perpetuate itself." Whitman seems to have believed, like Melville in Typee, that the heterosexuality was the sexual expression of capitalism and a property-based society, homosexuality was for him the sexual expression of the community, and would necessarily follow in a true socialist society (Homosexual 83-84)."

"For these reasons the states and governments of the cities of Greece were at that time troubled with seditions and civil discords, for it was known that in one place some excess or insolence had been made by some, others were disposed to another much worse, or by to do something again, or to be more diligent and ingenious than the first, or bolder and daring to take revenge, and all these evils to recklessness and boldness called magnanimity and effort, so that the reckless and daring were considered friends and by defenders of friends; to tardiness and maturity they called honest fear, or to temperance, modesty, cowardice and disguised pusillanimity; rage and outraged indignation, named manly boldness; consultation, prudence and advice, laziness and laziness. He was more furious and rapturous to undertake the thing, he was considered to be a more faithful friend, and he who contradicted her as a suspect. The one who carried his plots and snares to execution, was reputed to be wise and cunning, and much more the one who prevented those of his friend, or got no one to move away from his side or fear the opponents. Finally, the most willing to hurt another was highly praised, and much more so that to do so induced another who did not think of such a thing. "This formation of factions was greater among strangers than among relatives and relatives, because those were more disposed to any enterprise without any excuse, and because these boards and councils were not made by the authority of the laws or for the good of the republic, but out of greed and against all right and reason. The faith and loyalty that was kept between them was not by divine law and religion that they had, but to maintain this crime in the republic and to have companions of their crimes. If someone from the opposite side said a good reason, they did not want to accept it as such, nor as a noble and generous spirit, if it did not seem to be in their best interest. More wanted revenge than to stop being outraged. If they made a concert with a solemn oath, it lasted until one of the parties was more powerful than the other; but the first time he took advantage of it for being the safest and because it seemed great prudence to overcome the other by cunning and malice, and also because it is certain that before the bad (whose number is infinite) are called industrious innocent and simple good and men are often accused of being considered innocent and simple, and glorify themselves as being called evil and daring. »All this is born of the greed of honor, which ignites the fire of the parcialidades, because those who were head of bands in the cities gave color honesto to your party; those who favored the common, who call democracy, defended that all were equal in the republic, and those of the party of the great, who call aristocracy, said that it was right that the best and most important govern and be preferred to the minors. Each, then, contended for favoring the republic in word, but in the work the whole end of their debate and struggle was to invent evils against others, by force or by way of revenge and punishment, not looking at the common good or justice, but to the delight and pleasure of seeing each other's evil, whether they were unjustly condemned, now violently oppressed."

To know and not to know, to be conscious of what is really true while telling carefully elaborated lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions knowing that they are contradictory and to believe nevertheless in both; to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while resorting to it, to believe that democracy is impossible and that the Party is the guardian of democracy; to forget all that was necessary to forget and, nevertheless, to resort to it, to bring it back to memory as soon as it was needed and then forget it again; and, above all, apply the same process to the procedure itself. This was the most refined subtlety of the system: to consciously induce unconsciousness, and then to become unconscious so as not to recognize that an act of autosuggestion had taken place. Even understanding the word double-thinking involved the use of double-thinking."
