Franklin D. Roosevelt 32nd President of the United States: 1933 ‐ 1945 Message to Congress on Curbing Monopolies. Unhappy events abroad have retaught us two simple truths about the liberty of a democratic people. The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. Bottom: photo FDR

There are lessons to be learnt from the past. However, one has to choose the right ones!
