Free Minds for a Free Palestine

Thinking quote

By Mary Rizzo • May 28th, 2008 at 8:00 • Category: Quotes, Thinking

We owe to democracy, at least in part, the regime of discussion win which we live; we owe it to the principal modern liberties: those of thought, press and association. And the regime of free discussion is the only one which permits the ruling class to renew itself…which eliminates that class quasi-automatically when it no longer corresponds to the interests of the country. Gaetano Mosca, Partiti e Sindacata nella crisi del regime parlamentare, 1961
