Despotismo

«"Democracy is the spawn of despotism," Frazier said, continuing to look out the window. "And like father, like son. Democracy is power and rule. It's not the will of the people, remember; it's the will of the majority." He turned and, in a husky voice which broke in flight like a tumbler pigeon on the word "out," he added, "My heart goes out to the everlasting minority." He seemed ready to cry, but I could not tell whether it was in sympathy for the oppressed or in rage at his failure to convince Castle.
"In a democracy," he went on, "there is no check against despotism, because the principle of democracy is supposed to be itself a check. But i guarantees only that the majority will not be despotically ruled."»
