Quote:I'm having Soviet flashbacks.
I think your analogy is too extreme, there's civilized countries that have mandatory voting - In the case of the Soviets, it was only workers and the labour class who got to vote, but that was irrelevant anyway because communist regimes, unlike fascist ones, didn't depend on the will of the people and populism, but merely on the "revolution"
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
