Democracy is essentially a means, a utilitarian device for safeguarding internal peace and individual freedom. As such it is by no means infallible or certain. Nor must we forget that there has often been much more cultural and spiritual freedom under an autocratic rule than under some democracies and it is at least conceivable that under the government of a very homogeneous and doctrinaire majority democratic government might be as oppressive as the worst dictatorship (Democracy Quotes)

We are wasting and degrading human life by clinging to archaic thinking (Democracy Quotes)

The world has witnessed the rise and fall of monarchy, the rise and fall of dictatorship, the rise and fall of feudalism, the rise and fall of communism, and the rise of democracy; and now we are witnessing the fall of democracy... the theme of the evolution of life continues, sweeping away with it all that does not blossom into perfection (Democracy Quotes)
Socialist democracy is not a luxury but an absolute, essential necessity for overthrowing capitalism and building socialism (Democracy Quotes)
The hegemony of finance and the banks has produced the indebted. Control over information and communication networks has created the mediatized. The security regime and the generalized state of exception have constructed a figure prey to fear and yearning for protection-the securitized. And the corruption of democracy has forged a strange, depoliticized figure, the represented. These subjective figures constitute the social terrain on which-and against which-movements of resistance and rebellion must act (Democracy Quotes)
It is acknowledged, namely, that there are in the world three forms of government, autocracy, oligarchy, and democracy: autocracies and oligarchies are administered according to the tempers of their lords, but democratic states according to established laws (Democracy Quotes)
Doing politics in a democracy costs money for campaigning and getting our message across and that’s what we intend to do (Democracy Quotes)
Ethics must be reintroduced to public service to restore people’s faith in government. Without such faith, democracy cannot flourish. Your ambitious agenda is filling a desperate need (Democracy Quotes)
Democracy, if it is reasonable, limits itself to giving everyone an equal opportunity to compete and to obtain (Democracy Quotes)
To suggest we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory, conclusion.... It is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could (Democracy Quotes)
The ruling class is the rich.... And those people are so able to manipulate our democracy that they really control the democracy (Democracy Quotes)

We had to restructure our military and our politics and so on. We’re a new democracy. We’re a nascent democracy (Democracy Quotes)
Today’s business model is bad for people, bad for the economy and bad for stability and democracy (Democracy Quotes)
In capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority (Democracy Quotes)
Democracy is a form of the state, it represents, on the one hand, the organized, systematic use of force against persons; but, on the other hand, it signifies the formal recognition of equality of citizens, the equal right of all to determine the structure of, and to administer, the state (Democracy Quotes)
