Modem democracy, which may be idenlificd with popular sovereignty,
majority rule, constitulional libcrtics, participation in decision-making at ali
levels, egalitarianism, proteetion of minorities and much else, is a
complicated package. No matter how composite it may look, however,
democracy is incompatible with terrorism.1
Fascist parties excluded, most political groupings and governments
have scldom failcd to claim a dcmocratic legitimacy. Democracy, vvhich
seems to promisc a form of government based on the harmony betvveen the
rulers and the ruled, is irresistible, at least as a slogan. It is conceivable,
hovvever, only vvhen scctional as vvell as public interests are acknovvledged
and organized for political aetion. Another assumption is that no state is
seriously dcmocratic unless opposition is permitted to organize and
participatc in the contest for povver.
