Charles Maurras on democracy

maurras_1933-1

“Democracy is not a fact. It is an idea. This idea inspires laws. And these laws and their institutions reveal themselves to be more and more disastrous, destructive and ruinous, more hostile to the natural tendencies of manners, the spontaneous interplay of interests, and the development of progress. Why? Because the democratic idea is false, as it is in disagreement with nature. Because the democratic idea is bad, in that it constantly subjects the best to the worst, the superior to the inferior.”
— Charles Maurras
