Errico Malatesta (tr) [machine translation]

Italy, Spain and the notorious dictatorship in Russia, the rest of the world in a more 
reactionary and timid parties longing and envy rises, deprivation that "democracy" had 
brought a new air. Thanks to them, are responsible for the repression and massacre that 
apply to workers, the treacherous politics of the old regime reappear creatures who are 
accustomed to the art. They are where they dare, by presenting themselves progressives are 
trying to seize the near future the name of freedom. And judging by the current situation 
can be managed. ---- Showing criticism of democracy by dictatorial regimes and democracy 
lies and flaws of these critics have to say a few words on the style. And during the 
Geneva Conference, sweet-Bolshevik sympathizer with our communication and also its hard 
anarchist I remember Hermann Sandomirski is currently in production on Bakunin and Lenin 
was trying to merge, and behold.

To defend the Russian regime this person was trying to prove that the best social 
structure can be thought of democracy with quote Kropotkin. Reasoning method that uses it 
reminded me of another Russian again and him, to rob women of the tsar, flogging and 
civilized the world's anger against the vine "men, and if women have equal rights, but 
also should take equal responsibility" as responsive to citizens *, similar reasoning was 
carried out I told him. This torture and prison supporters, they only remember when 
looking for an excuse to new persecution of women's rights! Likewise dictatorship to 
democracy only facilitate the take over of power and despotism oppose tyranny can do when 
they find a form of government.

If you ask me, not only in terms of academic Wherever we look, the worst democracy, I 
prefer the best dictatorship. Of course, democracy, the so-called people's sovereignty is 
a lie; but lies always connect to get a little liars prevents random power and limits the 
power available to use. Of course, said "people's sovereignty", sovereignty is the clown, 
who is a slave from the beginning of the crown and wand in hand carton.

But free is free to believe though it is not, and knows that it is inevitable that slavery 
and the slave is always better to accept fair.

Democracy is a lie, it is tyranny and oligarchy is actually: So few people are managing 
the interests of the privileged class. But still, unlike the ones you want to change it 
worse, we can fight against it in the name of freedom and equality.

One of the reasons we Democrats not, at the end of democracy has led to war or 
dictatorship. But dictatorship supporter're not because of many other reasons as well, 
dictatorship evokes always democracy request, provoke a return to democracy and thus 
continue the vicious cycle of the comings and goings between the peoples of the false 
freedom, open and brutal tyranny.

So as we declare our struggle against dictatorship and democracy. But what we put in their 
place?

All Democrats put pressure on behalf of -public ring as mentioned above, abuse and who 
wish to crush, who may not be aware of it or not ikiy?zl?ler-. Especially among the young 
republican democracy seriously believers and the full and complete development of 
democracy freedom for everyone who may have obtained. Our wake these people and "the 
people" of abstraction, living reality, different needs, desires, and sometimes we need to 
show that inconsistent desires of men and women to meet.

Here the intention is our parliamentary system and lawmakers "people's will" really 
against the ideas put forward to represent is not to repeat our kriti?i which fifty years 
accepted the anarchist propaganda results and our ideas, it is a critical repeated by some 
authors deny that (eg Political Science Senator Gaeteno Mosca) .

We, they dissector mentioned, these words are empty with how they see themselves in the 
belief that young we force ourselves to invite our friends to use a more precise language.

"People's Government / domination" No, because there is something anticipated, we expect 
that all individuals within a -public oybirli?inin- could never happen.

If it "the power of the majority," he called we would have much closer to reality. In this 
case, to bow to the will of others or rebellion should mention a minority who have to.

However, the representatives of the majority could not agree more with all the problems, 
and therefore never even need to refer back to the majority principle (sic .: vote in 
parliament). Thus, the system is "a majority government elected by a majority of voters" 
The fact that the more we approached.

The system already has started to show a strong resemblance to a minority government.

And the election is made by what means, how the establishment of political parties and 
parliamentary groups proposed and how the law is accepted, voted, how we think 
implementation, it is easy to understand continuously experienced the fact that throughout 
history: even in the most democratic that of democracy, always imposing by force the will 
and interests and manages There is a minority.

Therefore, each individual will, in the sense of freedom can be put forward ideas and 
needs "of the people's power" is really who you want, no one has to -az?nl?g or others 
should ensure ?o?unlu?un- can not impose its will. In other words, power, and must destroy 
every authoritarian organization, interests and objectives which should form the common 
organization of the free.

If each group in its own right and each individual insulated, everything I could live 
independently from the others so as to meet their material and spiritual needs would be 
much easier.

But even this is not possible, and if it were possible, it would not be desirable because 
it leads to something humanity's downfall and dragged into violence.

Each group or individual, if their autonomy, they are determined to defend their freedom, 
should understand the importance of solidarity between the established bonds with other 
people. And provide the best possible rating, dedication are required to live in such a 
society at every opportunity should be filled with the love of comrades will know how to 
do so voluntarily.

But above all, the vast majority of self-imposed some physical strength and should be made 
impossible to batten.

Gendarmerie, no armed men working for despots go! And somehow I varal freely deal. Because 
it is impossible to live or force the free man without any agreement.

But even free agreement will provide greater benefits to those who prepared the 
intellectual and technical. We recommend therefore the goodness of our comrades and 
everyone who really want to work on the most urgent and important problems. Day when 
people break the chain you will need practical solutions to these problems.
