Carl Schmitt on Dictatorship - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 165 Dictatorship/Schmitt: Schmitt's writing on parliamentarianism not only criticizes liberal parliamentarianism, but also the Marxist concept of dictatorship and syndicalism, Bolshevism and fascism as current variants of dictatorial suspension of democratic legitimacy. (1) Dictatorship appears as a reality of democratic promise. The scripture could therefore also be pointedly called: "dictatorship as the reality of democracy". >Democracy/Schmitt, >C. Schmitt. 1.
