The false assumptions of “democracy”

Description

About this book

"The false assumptions of "democracy" by Anthony M. Ludovici is a political treatise written in the early 20th century. It argues that modern democratic ideals rest on muddled language and seductive slogans, and urges a rigorous redefinition of key political terms. The work challenges egalitarianism and socialism, defends private property as a life-affirming principle, and seeks to disentangle justice, freedom, and equality from popular misconceptions. The opening of the treatise frames its project with a supportive letter and a preface that, in the shadow of the Great War, calls for a sober “stock-taking” of ideals and a reclarification of language to avert social breakdown.
