“And what has come to prevail in democracies is the very reverse of beneficial, in those, that is, which are regarded as the most democratically run. The reason for this lies in the failure properly to define liberty. For there are two marks by which democracy is thought to be defined: "sovereignty of the majority" and "liberty." "Just" is equated with what is equal, and the decision of the majority as to what is equal is regarded as sovereign; and liberty is seen in terms of doing what one wants.” WantTwoReasonRunningLyingPoliticsTermDecisionLibertyEconomyDemocracyEqualMarkMajorityDefinedLiberalismReverseSovereignSovereigntyBeneficial Author:Aristotle
“The worship of the nation has been able to make men tolerate under its authority what they could never have tolerated from princes: a submission to rule, which, through sumptuary laws on food and drink, through conscription, through a cast-iron system of compulsory instruction for all on State ordered lines, and through a State examination at the gate of every profession, has almost killed the citizen's power to react upon that which controls him, and has almost destroyed that variety which is the mark of life.” MenHas BeensStatesWisdomAbleLawPoliticsNationsLinesEconomyCitizensDrinkAuthorityWorshipMarkCastsProfessionDestroyedVarietyLiberalismIronGatesInstructionTolerateSubmissionExaminationCompulsoryFood And DrinkConscription Author:Hilaire Belloc
“If a man surrenders all power of self-determination in regard to the profits, management or ownership of the place where he works, he not only loses that special prerogative which marks him off from a cow in a pasture, but what is worse, he loses all capacity for determining any work.

“It is important to note that multiculturalism does not share the postmodernist stance. Its passions are political; its assumptionsempirical; its conception of identities visceral. For it, there is no doubting that history is something that happened and that those happenings have left their mark within our collective consciousness. History for multiculturalists is not a succession of dissolving texts, but a tense tangle of past actions that have reshaped the landscape, distributed the nation's wealth, established boundaries, engendered prejudices, and unleashed energies.” DoeImportantActionPastPoliticalPassionPoliticsEnergyLeftNationsWealthConsciousnessHistoryDoubtHappenedShareIdentityDiversityHappeningsPrejudiceMarkNotesBoundariesLandscapeCollectivesConceptionMulticulturalismTenseSuccessionStanceVisceralCultural DiversityUnleashedDissolvingCollective Consciousness Author:Joyce Appleby
