History Is The Only True

Without General Elections, Without Unrestricted Freedom Of Press And Assembly, Without A Free Struggle Of Opinion, Life Dies Out In Every Public Institution, Becomes A Mere Semblance Of Life, In Which Only The Bureaucracy Remains As The Active Element. Public Life Gradually Falls Asleep, A Few Dozen Party Leaders Of Inexhaustible Energy And Boundless Experience Direct And Rule. Such Conditions Must Inevitably Cause A Brutalization Of Public Life: Attempted Assassinations, Shootings Of Hostages, Etc.

Before A Revolution Happens, It Is Perceived As Impossible; After It Happens, It Is Seen As Having Been Inevitable.

Without General Elections, Without Freedom Of The Press, Freedom Of Speech, Freedom Of Assembly, Without The Free Battle Of Opinions, Life In Every Public Institution Withers Away, Becomes A Caricature Of Itself, And Bureaucracy Rises As The Only Deciding Factor.

Freedom Is Always The Freedom Of Dissenters.
