Democracy is an abuse of statistics.
The fact that political ideologies are tangible realities is not a proof of their vitally necessary character. The bubonic plague was an extraordinarily powerful social reality, but no one would have regarded it as vitally necessary.

Democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.
