Aznar, former President of Spain, was elected without destroying democracy, but has recently written the preface to a book by an Italian fascist, promoting their values.
Whoa... darn. I can really get dragged off...
ok.. wrong back at you , from your own words.
Of course he was elected without destroying democracy, he was ... elected..... electing someone does not in itself usually destroy democracy. It's what that person does after election that does it.
He is promoting fascist values, not their system of government, nor is Spain at this point considered a fascist State . Spain was fascist, but Franco instituted elections (thus ending Spain's fascist era)
my point - you can't be democratic and fascist. The moment you instigate a fascist system historically you remove popular elections and thus, are no longer a democracy.
If you institute elections from a fascist state, then you are no longer, fascist. You might have fascist tendencies.. but you aren't really fascist anymore, at least, thats the way i understand it. (and this depends entirely on your definition of democracy - im using the US/ British "for the people, by the people" definition.
