Douglas A. Macgregor
“Only war reaffirms the enduring truth that to be effective in battle, armed forces must be cohesive, inspired, undemocratic, and coercive in character; that Western armed forces in particular must be separate and distinct from the individualistic, ultra-democratic, and materialistic societies they defend.”
Douglas A. Macgregor, Margin of Victory: Five Battles That Changed the Face of Modern War

Alexis de Tocqueville
“Without taking credit for his discoveries Tocqueville gives political science three new features not seen before—the concept of the social state (état social), the notion of those like oneself (semblables), and the practice of making predictions.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

“While the West was developing a whole food abundance by-product industry ranging from “stay in shape” movements to armies of dietitians, Soviet people stood in lines, or used all kinds of irregular distribution systems, such as “gift sets” (podarochnye nabory) for employees of companies and organizations, to get access to high demand items varying from canned crab meat to even canned green peas and high-end cold cuts.”
Andrei Martyanov, Disintegration: Indicators of the Coming American Collapse

“There were many American, not to mention European or Japanese, exhibitions sent to the Soviet Union.”
Andrei Martyanov, Disintegration: Indicators of the Coming American Collapse

Alexis de Tocqueville
“The suffering of others, in fact, can add to one’s own sense of impotence, thus to the deepest ill of democratic equality, which Tocqueville calls “individualism,” the self-isolation induced by the belief that an individual by himself can do nothing within a mass of people ruled by vast social forces. Tocqueville shares Rousseau’s disdain for the pettiness of the bourgeois.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America
