Comment upon
“Democracy means government by free and equal individuals. In practical terms, equality means the rule of the majority. Yet the rule of the majority can become so cruel, so wrong, so oppressive to individuals and to minorities, that is perverts democracy itself, and the rule of the people becomes the tyranny of the mob.
A people secure in their numbers and certain of their rightness can too easily forget that democracy also requires tolerance.”
(“The Struggle for Democracy”)
“If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were on the contrary opinion, mankind would no more be justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
(John Stuart Mill “Utilitarianism”)
