More Light and Less Heat From the ARI
There just may be hope for the Ayn Rand Institute yet. Despite the delusional nonsense they spout off about most of the time they appear to be starting to see that when it comes to electoral democracy, A is A, just as Ms. Rand said.
“Whichever group of dictators wins the Palestinian elections,” goes the ARI’s weekly letter to the editor this week, “be it the secular Fatah or the theocratic Hamas, Palestinians will soon discover that voting alone will not bring them freedom, but enslavement under some mob-approved despot.”
Quite so! And bravo for the clear thinking and thoroughly rational analysis of the mob rule nature of modern democracy. Who knows perhaps in time they’ll even see that voting, even in the purported liberal democracies of the West, is mainly a sham contest between two statist and totalitarian political parties that have no actual regard for liberty whatever except rhetorically.
