Universalism and Collectivism Are System of Theocratic Government

Liberals believe that a man's ability to rule proves itself better by convincing his fellow citizens than using force upon them. Universalism and collectivism cannot accept this democratic solution of the problem of government, he writes. The carismatic leader is the deity's vicar, the mandatory of the collective whole, the tool of history. His orders are the preme norm. It does not matter whether the absolute ruler bases his claims on the divine rights of anointed kings or on the torical mission of the vanguard of the proletariat.
