The Narcissist:
Unfortunately, history has shown that this kind of person at times manages to attain tremendous power--examples being Stalin, AdolfH, and Pol Pot. The only way to avoid falling victim to the damage such personalities have wrought, he asserts, is democracy.
While these ideas might seem obvious to some of us, sadly, it seems they are not at all familiar to others, and they need to be.
We are living in the age of the narcissistic leader. Leaders with dangerous personality disorders.
“The key point of democracy is the avoidance of dictatorship…the avoidance of a form of rule that is not the rule of law.” -'-'Karl Popper
"The problem before us is how to get rid of the greatest hindrance to civilization – namely, the constitutional inclination of human beings to be aggressive towards one another.”
---Sigmund Freud
“Dictatorship is morally wrong because it condemns the citizens of the state – against their better judgment and against their moral convictions – to collaborate with evil if only through their silence."
--Karl Popper
“In our democratic societies a man who believes in democracy seems to us an ordinary man. Maybe even a dull man…Let there be a banality of good, and let it be powerful.”
--Rithy Panh
“Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity.”
'---Naomi Klein
