Democracy is not a universal good, it is a form of government open to corruption like any other.
Contemporary wisdom views democracy and fascism as opposites. More traditional wisdom recognises that democracy has an innate tendency to lead to extreme populist government and provides unscrupulous demagogues with the ideal opportunity to seize power.
