George Washington | a frightful despotism

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.”

George Washington | George Washington’s Farewell Address

“Die wechselseitige Herrschaft einer Fraktion über die andere, geschärft durch den Geist der Rache, der der Parteizwietracht innewohnt und in verschiedenen Zeiten und Ländern die schrecklichsten Gräueltaten hervorgebracht hat, ist an sich ein furchterregender Despotismus. Doch dies führt schließlich zu einem formelleren und dauerhaften Despotismus. Die daraus resultierenden Unruhen und das Elend verleiten die Menschen nach und nach dazu, Sicherheit und Ruhe in der absoluten Macht eines Einzelnen zu suchen. Früher oder später nutzt der Anführer einer dominierenden Fraktion, der geschickter oder glücklicher ist als seine Mitstreiter, diese Neigung aus, um sich selbst zu erheben – auf den Ruinen der öffentlichen Freiheit.”
