| "Scratch a conservative and you find someone who prefers the past over any future. Scratch a liberal and you find a closet aristocrat. It's true! Liberal governments always develop into aristocracies. The bureaucracies betray the true intent of people who form such governments. Right from the first, the little people who formed the governments which promised to equalize the social burdens found themselves suddenly in the hands of bureaucratic aristocracies. Of course, all bureaucracies follow this pattern, but what a hypocricy to find this even under a communized banner. Ahhh, well, if patterns teach me anything it's that patterns are repeated."
