Tao Stoic 219

"I spoke with Mo De the other day, Master. What a silly man he is. He is proud of being fashion-conscious, a voluntary slave therefore, and he swore by democrazy."

"Fashion-prone people, are complete write-offs. Cicero had the most utter contempt for voluntary slaves. See these headless chicken that suffer from the Char-syndrome, from tattooing compulsion, their drilling of holes in ears and noses, the population for which advertising is at work. You did not try to convince the man of the True Words that democrazy, like all systems of government, is in fact a dictatorship? Dictatorship of the majority or dictatorship of a minority."

"Indeed not. He thinks dictatorship despicable and opposes it to democracy of which he thinks the world."

"You and I know the True Words for government, sane government, as being the proper choice between all forms of dictatorships i.e. the representative government, plutocracy, imperialism, monarchy, absolute democracy, tyranny, and the last and only word, Lottocratic dictatorship. Many people, like Mo De, are just too small, too little for you to try and reason sanity into them."
