On the surface he has a different focus, but only on the surface. As to the
essential things that affect the world we are soon to occupy, they are nearly
identical and all wrong-headed.

I am reminded of this:

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only
exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from
the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the
candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the
result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always
followed by dictatorship."
