75.) Revolutions, their new anti-democratic measures and experiments are penetrating, Dictatorship is and has always been only a temporary regime, History confirms this sociological fact. Any dictatorship can only resolve for a short period of time the security that may be a necessary product of the democratized or free regime in general. In general, any dictatorship creates a situation that will soon prove to be more severe than the situation during the more liberal regime. In almost all cases, the situation that the dictatorship has caused remains unsolved by normal devolution, and it requires either a war or an internal insurrection and a resolution in order to find the starting point from the confusion of authoritarian attitudes, which is also a simple sociological law. In addition to the inevitable blemishes of such a re- gime - the destruction of every individual freedom, freedom of the press and public opinion, free education, the freedom of church and religious life, culture, science and art, the annihilation of tolerance, as far as the free development of the social classes and minorities of all kinds is concerned - every non-free, dictatorial regime in its society generates an internal demoralization, corruption, admi- nistrative chaos, disorder, scial decomposition, open hatred and inheritance of individual whole classes and owners throughout social and public life.
