For a long time, democracy had a bad name, mostly because it was regarded as a synonym for "mob rule." Nothing struck terror into the hearts of serious political philosophers than when masses of people took to the streets with violence and looting.

Well, after having gotten the full-fledged democracy we have today there still were and are philosophers who didn't and don't let democracy cast a spell on them.

To mention a few:

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, Bertrand de Jouvenel, H.L. Mencken, and Hans-Hermann Hoppe.

*Sigh*

Democratism (Jacobinism), has taken hold probably no way out til it all comes crashing down - meanwhile Satan is having a grand old time as an ever increasing number of people repeat his exhortation "non serviam!"

If you all want to play with the Jacobins again be my guest.
