Both the system and the word “democracy” were invented by the Greeks, specifically the Athenians. “Demos” was the ancient word for “people,” hence the rule of the people is democracy. I’ve always preferred the selective kind, as practiced by the Brits until late in the 19th century—when one needed to own property before qualifying to vote—and the kind that made ancient Athens great, an obligatory education before being allowed to cast a ballot. That kept the demagogues in their place, because if you are correctly educated you can sniff out the fraud and duper from a mile away.
No longer. Fake news is now believed to be the truth, especially when spread by the media, experts at disinformation. Here are a few examples taken at random from the papers I have in front of me, one week before this article appears: A columnist for the Bagel Times seriously notes that Hitler in 1935 had not as yet enforced a police state in Germany but was just like Trump is today, nuanced but nevertheless bound to turn into a dictator. Now, the man writing this rubbish, Kristof, may scare some children and impress some old ladies, but anyone who knows the difference between Germany in 1935 and the USA in 2025 knows that this theory is not only childish, but written for idiotic children at that.
“American emphasis on individual freedom has come at the expense of families and communities.”
A further editorial in the paper of disinformation charges Trump with corruption and weakening American democracy by his self-dealing. No proof, just charges. In the meantime, democracy is being challenged as 10 to 12 million foreign nationals who walked into these United States during Biden’s time and joined the already 12 to 20 million illegal aliens residing here present a problem. While American citizens were required to present multiple forms in order to travel within the country, illegal entrants were flown across the nation often stealthily without any valid ID at all. If that’s democracy at work, I’m an overripe banana. In the City of Angels—ha ha—foreign flags come out while rioters against law and order burn the place down. Why? Because illegal aliens who have committed crimes are being arrested and deported. And the black female mayor of the city takes the side of the criminals, while the governor of California also plays it safe. In my not-so-humble opinion, something is very wrong here, and it’s democracy not working, nothing else.
Which brings me to the reasons why we need a bit of autocracy, and why we need it now. Egalitarianism seems to be the culprit of what ails these United States, the passions of the mob having taken over what once upon a time was known as civil disobedience. The passions of the mob saw an illegal migrant lighting up a sleeping American woman and watching her burn to death while he fanned the flames with his shirt. Nice. The burned woman was suffering from mental problems, but her immolation soon turned into just another statistic. Like the rape of a dead man in a New York subway by yet another illegal migrant, only arrested after the gruesome incident. Necrophilia lives among illegal aliens in New York City. So what is to be done? Easy. As previously stated above, we need some autocracy and we need it now.
The major threat to the West’s security today emanates from its own pusillanimity. Global elites and immigrants are stacked against good middle-class and working-class guys. The L.A. violence will keep expanding in the U.S. and in Europe, especially in France and the U.K. The latter will see whites in the minority in 25—yes, 25—years, and what comes next is anyone’s guess. Will sharia law prevail? It will probably be shoved up the Brit bum, and the latter will as usual say, “Thank you.”
The battle will have to be fought not only in the streets but also in the classroom. What sets fire in our streets is our complacency and the fifth column of the media. (The fifth column were the pro-German French working for appeasement back in 1939.) And then there’s the great replacement theory that argues that liberal elites are behind a conspiracy to replace white Europeans with migrants from Africa and the Middle East. The rise of non-white immigration in Europe dwarfs any other potential dangers, yet no politicians except a few like Nigel Farage in Britain seem to bother with it.
The great German academic Hans Hoppe, an acquaintance of mine, argues that universal suffrage has supplanted rule by the natural elite. In other words, the foreign criminal has as many or more rights than the law-abiding citizen. A benevolent strongman is needed, according to Hoppe—and Taki—someone who would rule efficiently and prioritize the well-being of his subjects. If I had my way, journalists would have to report the truth, not their truth, and would be prevented by the state when acting like East German Stasi, informing on citizens who didn’t agree with them. I would also abolish Pride Month, because, as Norman Mailer put it so well, “Just because you take it up the bum doesn’t mean we have to watch parades for a month that celebrate it.”
Let’s face it. Liberalism has trampled traditional values underfoot, and many of us are mad as hell and won’t take it anymore. (Sorry, Howard Beale.) American emphasis on individual freedom has come at the expense of families and communities and has turned us into non-related selves—afraid, alone, marionettes controlled by left-wing puppeteers. Egalitarianism is the bad guy wearing a black hat; an autocratic strongman is the good one, and he wears a white one.
