Quote by Barry Goldwater

Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of understanding equality in the same way as the founding fathers did. When equality is rightly understood, it paves the way for liberty and allows for the freedom of diverse perspectives and ideas. However, in our current time, if equality is misunderstood, it can lead to a dangerous path. When equality is misconceived, it often results in everyone conforming to a single viewpoint, eroding individual freedoms. Eventually, this conformity can lead to a despotic regime where power is concentrated, and dissenting opinions are suppressed.

Those who cling to the untrue doctrine that violence never settles anything would be advised to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.
