Only the supportive evil in others will rise to placate the implanted evil in you. And their evil will eventually exploit you. The stage is then set for rebellion against the iron will of the tyrant or for total submission, as in a cult.

Rebellion often takes the form of irresponsible behavior, drunkenness, drug addiction or crime. It could even lead to revolution itself, with the revolutionaries drawing out of the pit a greater evil to support them in their cause.

The indwelling evil is supported in rebellion by our seductive “friends,” and when such as these become our leaders, betrayal is sure to be the order of the day. There is betrayal in marriage and there is also betrayal in government.

The husband betrays the wife who spoils him rotten, and the wife betrays her husband by revealing herself to be a tyrant instead of a lover; a similar relationship exists between the people and their government.

And if we try to get free, we always find the same enemy in a new and disguised form. The sinner’s liberty is not freedom—he is just freed from the frying pan so that he can jump into the fire. 

Marriage is not the problem. Democracy is not the problem. It is the spirit of evil which is the problem. The guile in us all solicits support from the friendly evil in others, and we find this comforting, but debilitating, process going on in all of our relationships—marriage, friendship and government.

Wickedness supporting weakness is the invisible rule operating in all dictatorships, and that same quality is there in those effeminate leaders who rise to the occasion of our prideful need in a democracy.

Soon after we have built a model system of law and order with blood, sweat and tears, the selfish, deceitful spirit of leadership begins to make itself felt, and things start going wrong all over again. 

Exploited by business and taxes, people begin to rebel against pushy, unreasonable, “wifey” governments. Rebels pride themselves in their rebellion because hating wrong helps them think they are right (they are not). Conformists pride themselves in their psychotic patriotic behavior because it is rewarded by the system that created it.

But it is the nature of governments to become ever more oppressive, never satisfied with the power they have. So the rebel ranks begin to swell. Even squares start breaking laws and cheating the system in order to survive.

Eventually, they will be so immoral or so mad that they will tear down the government, as if democracy itself, with its marvelous system of laws, were the problem. As I pointed out, it is the spirit behind law and order which wants to make slaves out of everyone that is the problem.

"The sinner’s liberty is not freedom—he is just freed from the frying pan so that he can jump into the fire. "

Again, marriage provides a good parallel: without realizing the power they have and what they are doing to their husbands, wives make their men into weaklings or beasts.

Some wives feel troubled by their power, and yet don’t know how to give it up; others revel in that power and feel threatened by the possibility of their husbands waking up. Some husbands don’t know and don’t want to know better.

Others struggle to hold on to what is left of their self-respect by rebelling. Rebellion can take the form of breaking the marriage bonds and running with other women (flirting and sympathizing with other governments) or just plain crime and revolution. 

The hypocrisy of democracy, while pretending to promote and preserve decency, actually fosters social breakdown and revolution. Led by resentment, we consort with the enemy to get even and get free. 

The guilt of hating may cause people to have sympathy for what they hate—and all the more so if what they hate is wicked, because capitulating to it can seem to be more honest, more in agreement with what they are really like inside.

You can become like the thing you hate in order to escape from your guilt. The hidden logic is this: when you feel guilty for hating, then it seems that if you sympathize, side or identify with the people you hated, you might be able to share the innocence you think they have (because you have the guilt).

Add the subtlety of hating wrong to feel right, and before you know what is happening, you are no longer the law-abiding person you prided yourself in being; you become as vile and as violent as what you hate, and you become a rebel.

In this manner, police officers often become lawless themselves, taking on the nature of the criminals they hunt down.

Believe it or not, subversives are actually the projection of a hypocritical society. The evil of an unjust judge, teacher, doctor or sick policeman creates hardened criminals.

The more they try to cure the social problems for which they are secretly responsible, the worse their victims become, and the more the victims cling to the criminal psychopaths of an antisocial order for comfort.

Now the answer lies in awakening the people (husband) as well as the government (wife) of the people. If that is not done, democracy is in danger of losing its “husband” to another “woman.” The other woman can be crime, Communism (or any other “ism”), decadence or outright revolution.
