"...to quote Eric Hoffer (1902--), 'When freedom destroys order, the yearning for order will destroy freedom.' At that point the words left or right
will make no difference. They are only two roads to the same end.
There is no difference between an authoritarian government from the
right or the left: the results are the same. An elite, an
authoritarianism as such, will gradually force form on society so that
it will not go on to chaos. And most people will accept it--from the
desire for personal peace and affluence, from apathy, and from the
yearning for order to assure the functioning of some political system,
business, and the affairs of daily life. That is just what Rome did
with Caesar Augustus." - Francis Schaffer
