The Demon in Democracy
Totalitarian Temptations in Free Societies
Ryszard Legutko
"The Demon in Democracy" is a thought-provoking exploration of the similarities between communism and liberal democracy. Author Ryszard Legutko draws on his experiences living under both systems to reveal how they share historical roots, presuppositions about society and human nature, and objectives. This book challenges the reader to consider the dangers of reducing human nature to political allegiance and blindly accepting ideological prejudices.
