140.) I have to address some fundamental questions about the possibility of a successful revival of democracy as a political system of the present day. The history of the last twenty years before the Second World War shows that the struggle for the life and death of the three political social systems was going on and that in today's wars we will indeed be facing after this war a new political social organization of the world, namely the European one; the authoritarian (fascist) systems, the system of liberal democracy and the Soviet system of socialism are actually fighting in this war for the salvation of their lives - it is a "war of survival", as Franklin D. Roosevelt said. Today the war is already officially referred to as not only a massive struggle, but also an ideological struggle: the governments of the United States, the British Empire and the Soviet Association and all other connected parties have declared that it is actually about the destruction of the Nazi regime and the so-called Hitler Germany. It is a fact that the hesitation of democratic governments over the last twenty years, the policy of "appeasement" and the compromises with Hitler and Mussolini, are simply a matter of making a difference.
