15. Yep, that admiration still exists.

It is so tempting to try to force people to do what you "know" is best for them.

So you bully people, rather than persuade them through give and take dialogue.

Authoritarian personalities using authoritarian methods.

Democracy is not just a form of government. It is a state of mind, a way of life, an attitude of egalitarian respect and dialogue.

The same is true of authoritarianism. It too is a state of mind and a way of life, but it is characterized by hierarchical structures of commanding and obeying, superior and inferior, those who know "what is right" and everyone else.

The one true enemy of democracy is authoritarianism, whether in politics, religion, business, society, or in one's own habits of thinking and acting.

Capitalism and socialism are really economic arrangements, not political or social arrangements. Even business can be democratically structured.

To my mind, both Sanders and Trump are authoritarians. I don't see Hillary that way at all.
