Ryszard Legutko fought for freedom in Poland as an underground editor in the anti-communist Solidarity movement. But after democracy was restored in Poland, he began seeing trends he didn’t expect in not just Poland, but many other liberal democracies as well.

His book “The Demon in Democracy: Totalitarian Temptations in Free Societies” describes the phenomenon so-called democracies — including America — are seeing: The march from “democracy” to totalitarianism.

We recommend this interview to all those who wish to “Save Our Democracy” instead of shouting “Save Our Republic.”
