Prabhupāda: …they assemble together and people are unhappy. [break] They have renounced democracy, eh? Communist? 

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Well, they have some sort of democracy themselves. 

Prabhupāda: No, they are dictatorship. Actually, Stalin’s dictatorship was going on. 

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes. It’s all dictatorship. Democracy is also a dictatorship, but by election. They elect a fool, and then he can be…, do whatever he wants. 

Prabhupāda: [chuckles] Yes. 

Ātreya Ṛṣi: He will try to be as powerful as he can. 

Prabhupāda: [japa] [end]
