Someone had better start making the distinction between “democracy” and democratic republic pretty quickly, before the left succeeds in changing the definition of “democracy” into straight up collectivism.
What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat. …The left was defining democracy as socialism hundreds of years before either of us were born. To them, democracy was and is about collectivism and the destruction of individual rights.
— The Principles of Communism, 1847
… (I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals. …
— Woodrow Wilson, 1887
I think we are a constitutional republic, not a democratic republic.
Right.
The Left is using the word “democracy” to sound appealing but are undermining every bit of freedom in our Republic as they do so.
Knowingly.
