Well, Alex gets abused a lot for things not his fault but the fault of others misinterpreting some of his statements, however, on America he pretty much called one thing right and another almost completely right...
He America and Russia seemed destined to control half the globe...in a peak Soviet sense it was right for a time...now, however he like many of earlier generations didn't see Communist China coming...
But he nailed it when he said a bunch of selfish greedy elite would collude to create despotism in America and dominate an underclass of "perpetual children" and "timid animals". The tyranny of a majority The Founders feared should the Republic be bastardized into a democracy...
“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.”
? Alexis de Tocqueville
“Rulers who destroy men's freedom commonly begin by trying to retain its forms. ... They cherish the illusion that they can combine the prerogatives of absolute power with the moral authority that comes from popular assent.”
? Alexis de Tocqueville, The Old Regime and the French Revolution
“Now I know of only two methods of establishing equality in the political world; every citizen must be put in possession of his rights, or rights must be granted to no one.”
? Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America
