About the riots in Athens
Mobs and democracy
We may accept the mob as a necessary evil, but should remember that
evil it remains.
Yet riot and revolution are the mother and father of democracy. From
the riots in Athens to the English Civil War, from the American War of
Independence to the French Revolution, from the riots in which many
died , to the suffragettes, nearly all major advances in democracy
were accompanied by civil disturbance.
As for modern Greece, can further progress in our democracy be made
without violence when we have a Government which ignores peaceful
demonstrations?
