This morning I was subjected to a re-run of the statement, "This is what democracy looks like." The speaker said this with a street protest in progress behind him. (I was tempted to put protest in quotation marks because I am not at all sure that what is going on in these events is simply protest.) It was a re-run: I saw and heard the same bit days, even weeks, ago. People in the streets seems to have become a prevalent and widely spread phenomena.
Is it democracy or mob rule?
How far is mob rule from anarchy?
Anarchy destroys democracy?
What follows is tyranny--if I recall correctly.
What I recall is hearing it said that people prefer order to anarchy.
What I recall is hearing it said that people will accept tyranny if tyrany brings order out of anarchy--out of chaos.
