“Democracy has been the fetish of the twentieth century, perhaps politically the most stupid period in world history,” Svetlana reminded Lara, just as seriously. “Democracy set the stage for the great bloodlettings of bolshevism and naziism, and in every welfare state today is preparing the ground for a financial catastrophe that will shake the West to its roots. Oh, now the intelligentsiia chatter about the end of history and claim that liberal democracy and transnational capitalism have proven themselves superior to all other systems. What better evidence that the end of an era is upon us? Such fools! How long will liberal democracy last in America when the claimants for Social Security can receive checks only if workers are taxed out of economic existence? When all income taxes are absorbed to pay interest on the national debt? When …? Enough. You know what is coming—and how soon.”
