U.S. Army Training Manual definition of democracy in 1928: “DEMOCRACY: A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic - negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it is based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard for consequences. Results in demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.” A simple democracy is the devil’s own government.” Under a democratic government, the citizens exercise the powers of sovereignty Godhead; and those powers will be first abused, and afterwards lost, if they are committed to an unwieldy multitude.“Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest [judgment]:” Exodus 23:2 A pure Republic is a network of people who care abut each other as much as they care about themselves. Some people through social compact give the state the power to take from its members for the welfare of society. That power has been deemed a foolish rejection of God. “It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.” “Socialism is the religion people get when they lose that pure religion”
