Consent and Democracy
A democracy is not possible unless supported by the majority of the population.
One hundred years ago in Germany, Italy, Spain, and other countries, fascism
emerged because it was perceived as an alternative to communism, and both
movements were against democracy, which in practice was no longer supported by
the population.
It's no coincidence that Mussolini had a majority in parliament that no other
government has ever had. If communism and neo-fascism had been outlawed,
democracy still would not have been achieved.
