Democracy is Unnatural and Unhealthy

From a source influenced by Evola and Guénon.


The postmodern man is ungovernable in all his ways, and so he demands the rule of all his fellows. Democracy is what men do when they cannot be ruled. Representative Democracy is what men do when they desire ultimate power, but are not trusted by the elites. All forms of democracy have this one thing in common: they require the destruction of hierarchy. Ungovernable men destroy the natural order of the cosmos by placing every man in absolute authority. Democracy is thus a contradiction, since not one of these absolute monarchs is capable of wresting the absolute power of his neighbor away. Only by the use and institution of organic hierarchy is social law and order obtained and maintained. Hierarchies define virtually every aspect of our lives, whether it be Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, or a social hierarchy of merit, or the familial hierarchy of a traditional nuclear family. Hierarchies are how we order ourselves, but the ungovernable democrat, be he a representative democrat or a leftist democrat, has refused hierarchies. He has destroyed the family, upended basic needs, and is even today breaking down the basic and fundamental hierarchy of values by claiming that everyone is entitled to their own moral code. The result of this breakdown in beauty, goodness, and truth is the chaotic and anarchistic world we see today, and the inevitable result of the institution of representative democracy. The solution to a breakdown in hierarchical social structure will not be easy to implement, as most people have become ungovernable, yet to ignore the need for a rebuilding of the natural cosmos has never been greater. Hierarchies of values and of political leadership is absolutely essential to mankind's future.
