A Quote by Hans-Hermann Hoppe on democracy, truth, justice, beauty, poliics, envy, and ignorance

What is true, just, and beautiful is not determined by popular vote. The masses everywhere are ignorant, short-sighted, motivated by envy, and easy to fool. Democratic politicians must appeal to these masses in order to be elected. Whoever is the best demagogue will win. Almost by necessity, then, democracy will lead to the perversion of truth, justice and beauty.

Hanse-Hermann Hoppe

.. Democracy dear friends have now grown into an absolutely outdated misfit system of politics ( ! ) …It is absolutely TRUE people are so ignorant, illiterate and an intelligent person ( say politicians) can really claim votes in anyway … for example in INDIA, which happens to be one of the largest democracies of the world is an absolute mess ….. here are so many political parties based on CREED, CASTE and RELEGION, RACE, REGION and even LANGUAGE !! …people are illitrate, ignorant and fools… we can see any election scenario people cast votes only to the one who is of their race or relegion and thats the only criteria ….. this is no empowerment of people is it ??????
