This philosophy of hate, of religious and racial intolerance, with its passionate urge toward war, is loose in the world.

Any dictatorship would be better than modern democracy. There cannot be so incompetent a dictator, that he would show more stupidity than a majority of the people. Best dictatorship would be one where lots of heads would roll and government would prevent any economical growth Picture Quote #1

When you fight, you don’t fight for abstract values like the flag, or the nation, or democracy. You fight for your buddy.

But you go on. You fight, so that his death isn’t meaningless, his sacrifice isn’t for nothing Picture Quote #1

An unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a people fed only partisan information and opinion that confirm their own bias, a people made morbidly obese in mind and spirit by the junk food of propaganda is less inclined to put up a fight, ask questions and be skeptical.

The ideas and principles of democracy should not be limited to politics, but must pervade all areas of social life Picture Quote #1
