"Democracy, let us repeat, is concerned with the question of who should be vested with ruling power, while liberalism deals with the freedom of the individual, regardless of who carries on the government. A democracy can be highly illiberal while on the other hand an absolute ruler could be a thorough liberal - without being for this reason the least bit democratic.
(...) A purely military dictatorship based on the bayonets and sabres of a handful of professional soldiers has greater liberal potentialities [than democracy] (one has only to compare Franco, Oliveira Salazar and Pétain with Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin)".
