Quote
"I dont believe that the representative democracy can be put into crisis by authoritarian movements like those of the twenties and thirties. There is however the danger that in the western democracies the forms of democracy are kept up without the substance. Political parties wont be banned any longer, civil liberties will be guaranteed to a certain extent but, at the same time, there could be the danger that only the formulas of democracy remain and the substance disappears."
