Hans-Hermann Hoppe on democracy

What is true, just, and beautiful is not determined by popular vote.  The masses everywhere are ignorant, short-sighted, motivated by envy, and easy to fool.  Democratic politicians must appeal to these masses in order to be elected.  Whoever is the best demagogue will win.  Almost by necessity, then, democracy will lead to the perversion of truth, justice and beauty.

~ Hans-Hermann Hoppe
