I “Why I am not a conservative” skriver Hayek nedenstående, hvilket viser, hvor langt ude det er at mene, at Hayek ikke bakker op om demokratiet:

“Closely connected with this is the usual attitude of the conservative to democracy. I have made it clear earlier that I do not regard majority rule as an end but merely as a means, or perhaps even as the least evil of those forms of government from which we have to choose. But I believe that the conservatives deceive themselves when they blame the evils of our time on democracy. The chief evil is unlimited government, and nobody is qualified to wield unlimited power. The powers which modern democracy possesses would be even more intolerable in the hands of some small elite.”

De kunne jo også have angrebet de liberales ofte åbenlyse opfordringer til civil ulydighed. Især Mogens Glistrups sammenligning af skattesnydere og jernbanesabotørere.
Desværre er civil ulydighed kommer i strid modvind i takt med at demokratiet har indført næsten totalitært kontrol med alt.
Så der må virkeligt være noget at komme efter der. Alle antitotalitære er jo på en måde også antidemokratiske!
