EGALITARIANISM - DEMOCRACY - LIBERALISM
482. »Nivellation« always means levelling down. Each equalisation is based on descent.
483. Total equality before the law can only be manifested in an equality that is attained by the lack of all rights.
484. The view that »every man is equal (to one another)« is not the logical result of a deduction, but it is the manifestation of a disposition. »Nivellating« is not based on discretion, but on an inclination. Those who »nivellate«, first of all belittle themselves, and then continue the denial of their own dignity with the general denial of dignity. Those who cannot discover dignity in themselves can neither presume the presence of dignity in others.
485. Even the most dull-brained and the most confused followers of the idea of equality know very well that there are differences among men, both in the horizontal and vertical sense of their relations, but they pretend this to be false.
486. »Every man is equal to one another« is false rhetoric. This is what even the most extreme egalitarian democrat does not believe in. He may sacrifice his life to this, but he will still not believe it, since he also organises his life according to a principle that is the direct opposite of this.
487. Liberalism supposes the equality before the law of those men who want one thing above all: the abolishment of the predominance of quality.
488. Liberalism not only represents the view according to which every man is equal (to one another), but it also does its best to abolish quality in order to make every men equal.
489. The principle of equality applies only to those who accept this principle. Should anyone try to query egalitarianism, he will find himself out of the circle of people who have the same rights before the law.
490. The incoherence of liberalism is shown - inter alia - by the fact that if one tried to consistently apply the main principles of liberalism, one should applaud anti-liberalism as well.
491. The real liberal should not be more enthusiastic about anything than that which is different from his view; and the more different it is, the more enthusiastic about it he should be.
[In other words - ad absurdum - a liberal should consequently be enthusiastic about the radically anti-liberal ultra-right-wing attitude, since it is so »different«.]
492. As the real liberal should set a high value on anti-liberals, so should the real anarchist be enthusiastic about the opponents of anarchism, as a thinker of an alternative way.
493. Either stupid, or spiteful. Tertium non datur.
[This alternative comes up not only in politics, but also in spiritual - pseudo-spiritual - relations.]
494. Liberalism is firstly against libertas, secondly, against liberality, and finally, against liberalism, since an approach that sets out to make views relative and considers other views impossible unavoidably turns against itself.
495. From a certain point of view, everybody is »one who thinks differently«.
496. He who upholds the view of thinking alternatively, does not uphold every kind of alternative-thinking, only certain kinds of it.
497. The criticism of freedom is beyond the domain of freedom of speech.
498. As much as the battle of liberalism against terrorism is futile, so its fight against every kind of superiority is effective.
499. The different forms of democracy, such as liberal and dictatorial democracies, are basically unacceptable from a spiritual point of view. This is so because if the spirit manifested itself in the domain of politics, it would not do it in a democratic way.
500. Democracy means that the periphery, rather than the centre rules: not the axis-like, motionless mover and stator, i.e. the king, but that which is peripherally moved and stopped: the people.
501. If one thinks that everybody could be involved in the government of the world, one should also say that it does not make any difference what kind of dark forces affect and control us, and that their effect is the same as the presence and effect of the spiritual light-forces. This is true in respect of every man, and also - in the first person singular - in respect of myself.
502. The forces of the démos that are manifested either in the consciousness or in the world are not ascending, but they rather surge up from below and drag everything down.
503. If one accepts decisions taken by the majority, one should also accept the dominion of dark, dim and confused mental vortices within one’s mind.
504. »Majority rules!« - This can be heard among little kids when they are arguing about playing tag or seek-and-hide. And this can be the only field in which democracy has its reason d’etre.
505. That people are completely ineligible to vote is also demonstrated by the after-election reactions of certain political powers. When people have not voted for what these political powers prefer (and there are always these kinds of political powers after elections, i.e. the losers of the elections), then the people are said to have been misled. Then again when people vote for what these forces think to be right, then people took a wise decision according to these powers. After all, what sort of legitimacy has someone who can be misled?
506. (Democracy) The public can be made to accept anything after proper preparation.
507. »Sovereignty of the people!« -nobody believes in this, since it is impossible to accept that the public that can be manipulated without any restraint has any kind of superiority.
508. Undoubtedly everybody is competent to decide what is pleasant for them at present: when they are hungry, thirsty or sleepy, what and how much they want to eat, drink, sleep, whether they feel cold or warm. But only men with high spiritual qualifications can adequately decide what they need in the long run.
509. A world where people despise their leaders is degenerate in itself. In fact they despise them because they deserve disdain. A situation like this is sub-normal in itself in every aspect: despised people take high positions, and those who despise them enabled them to occupy those positions. This is a real vicious circle. In this way approximately two-thirds of the people hate and despise approximately two-thirds of their principals, indisputably because the latter deserve it. But the story is not finished here, since inferiority penetrates everything, both those who are despised and those who despise them.
510. The expression »democrat« that is adopted in the name of almost every political party could be changed with no restraint to »skotasmocrat«: Hungarian Skotasmocratic Forum, Alliance of Free Scotasmocrats, Alliance of Young Scotasmocrats, moreover Christian-Scotasmocratic People’s Party.
[Scotasmocracy is the »dominion of darkness«. The above mentioned parties are parliamentarian parties of the 1990-1994 parliamentarian cycle: Hungarian Democratic Forum, Alliance of Free Democrats, Alliance of Young Democrats, Christian-Democratic People’s Party. ]
511. Creatures do not elect God from among themselves.
512. Democracy, that is, the idea that the majority makes the decisions, is nothing other than a slap in the face of spirit.
