Modern democracies have brought together all the most devious means ever invented by the human mind and have materialized a supreme and unprecedented ode to hypocrisy. This much-acclaimed system, whose criticism is inadmissible and may earn a place in jail, boils down to a tyranny that only grows stronger as the years go by. A tyranny, therefore, a legitimate system, but oppressive, unjust and cruel. The individual, who has absolutely no part in it, has to swallow it and finance it, even in the face of unacceptable abuses and absurdities, watching, gagged and with his hands tied, the perpetuation of a will that can be manipulated and is effectively manipulated by scoundrels, a will contrary to his interests. For everything that once seemed unattainable to the most shameless of tyrants, today there are sure means of execution, and so it seems that souls, more than ever, are submitted and unable to react.
