“Democracy as practiced today, is the forerunner of Marxism. Democracy is the breeding ground in which the bacilli of the Marxist world-pest can grow and spread. By the introduction of parliamentarianism, democracy produced an ‘abomination of filth and fire’ — the creative fire of which, however, seems to have died out.”
