"Socialism, consisting of evolved individuals, will prevail in the end. But as long as people are not highly evolved, individualism will keep coming to the surface. Individualism only exists for the ushering in of spiritual socialism in which evolved souls will live for the greatest good of the greatest number."

~Paramahansa Yogananda

i found this quote in an old East-West Magazine i have from February 1934 It is an interview with Paramahansa Yogananda

These are the words before and after the quote- so it can be seen in context:

"Great individuals are sent on earth as a pattern after which ordinary members of society must model themselves.

Socialism, consisting of evolved individuals, will prevail in the end. But as long as people are not highly evolved, individualism will keep coming to the surface. Individualism only exists for the ushering in of spiritual socialism in which evolved souls will live for the greatest good of the greatest number."

Question: Does the rise , in recent years, of dictatorships as forms of government indicate the failure and ultimate doom of Democracy?

Answer: "A society of morons and unthinking people will never establish a real Democracy. The average man cannot think clearly, but is ruled by explosions of his emotions, He needs the Master mind of  a Dictator in order to think right and do right. When the mass of people in a nation are qualitively and uniformly educated, they will form the Democracy of universal wisdom and agreement, and will then be able to govern themselves spontaneously by the universal law of truth. Then dictators will be unnecessary.

One real wise Dictator, like President Roosevelt, is better then too many cooks of small dictators and politicians, who spoil the broth. Much is discussed and nothing accomplished with many ..... Democracy will never fail; it is the growing life of nations, which will mature through the trials of republicanism, dictatorships, capitalism, and any other "isms" which are necessary for its growth."
