If the US has as tolerant society as it advertises, then why did the mainstream media attack North Carolinians so viciously when they voted to keep traditional bathrooms? And why do bakers go to jail for refusing to crown a wedding cake with two men? Doesn’t diversity and tolerance require, well, diversity and tolerance? Not in the smoky hall of warped mirrors that is liberal democracy according to Polish professor and author Riszard Legutko in
The Demon in Democracy: Totalitarian Temptations in Free Societies. He does not mention Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s
Democracy: The God that Failed but he makes many similar points.
Legutko is a professor of philosophy at Jagellonian University in Krakow and a writer on politics and philosophy. He co-founded the Centre for Political Thought after the collapse of communism. He has been elected to parliament, held cabinet positions and is currently a member of the European Parliament.
