In "The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy", he argues quite convincingly that no discernible difference exists between a parliamentary democracy and a dictatorship that represents the popular will. These assertions, expounded upon in later works, led him to becoming an enthusiastic Nazi. He wasn't the only legal scholar or political thinker to criticize constitutionalism and liberalism either. Hannah Arendt arguably offered a critique, summarized in her works "The Human Condition" and "On the Rise of Totalitarianism", from a more left-wing perspective. And, of course, our traditionalists may well object to the merits of both democracy and liberalism as intrinsic goods.

I always find it awkward when I have to just ignore the rampant anti semitism of a political writer to get through their writing.
I read one of Oswald Mosley's books and that's basically what happened.

Mosley was one of the weirdest political figures of Interwar Britain.
The so-called "British nationalist" was pro-Irish separatism, pro-Gandhi, pro-Europe and ultimately ended up moving to Paris.
British Fascism was odd.

Yeah, something about a single far-right European nation-state that would span the bulk of the continent.
Honestly, the guy was so internationalist in outlook that he made even the British Communists look more patriotic by comparison; and most of them were either stooges of Moscow or Trotskyists who wanted to abolish the Empire.

In all seriousness the British government should've supported Federation and closer ties to their dominions as well enfranchisement of loyal natives.

I mean one of the greatest figures of anti-colonial nationalism Mahatma Gandhi was educated as a lawyer in the University of London and served in The Indian Ambulance Corps as well as a stretcher bearer.
This kinda guy should've been help up as an example by the British government to inspire loyalty to the empire but instead they harrassed him at every turn.

But who shot first? Did the British only start harassing Gandhi after he started protesting their rule, or did their harassment inspire him to start opposing them?
