“Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.”
Marvin Simkin
Marvin Simkin was an American writer and political thinker, known for his critical perspective on democracy and freedom.
This quote highlights that democratic majorities do not automatically guarantee true freedom. True freedom rests on inalienable rights that must not be overridden even by the majority.
