GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
Hence, dogma and criticism stand opposed to each other as antipodes.
In our case, this is the State opposed to revisionism; or in other
words the Enemies of Science on one hand versus Science on the other:
Dogma vs. Critique
State vs. Revisionism
Enemies of Science vs. Science
The U.S. political scientist Fareed Zakaria illustrated this opposition
of science to dogma very succinctly in his book The Future of Freedom,
particularly in the chapter “A Short History of Human Freedom:” 74
“Science, after all, is a constant process of challenging authority
and contesting dogma.”
And by the way, in his book Zakaria explained that democracy and
the rule of law are two very different and distinct institutions. Because
when the majority represses minorities in a state, this may be done with
democratic means, but they are certainly not the means of a government
of laws. Only when limits on the majority’s exercise of power are imposed
by law, thus making the repression of minorities impossible, can
we speak of a nation under the rule of law. I mention this because, when
I point out that today’s Germany is a dictatorship, I am often confronted
with the claim that this cannot be true because it is evident that Germany
is a democracy. However, the question of whether Germany is a democracy
or not has nothing to do with determining whether it is a dictatorship.
If a democracy, even with overwhelming majority and approval
of wide sectors of the population, passes laws against expressing certain
views, and thereby persecutes a minority, regardless of how small a minority,
then we are obviously dealing with a democratic dictatorship.
The word “dictatorship” is derived from the Latin dictare, which
means “to prescribe.” And this is exactly what the Federal Republic of
Germany does: It prescribes in its penal law what the citizen must consider
to be true, and it persecutes the minority that expresses other opinions.
For this reason the Federal Republic of Germany is a democratic
dictatorship; but regarding this issue it cannot be considered a nation
under the rule of law.
My chemistry colleague Dr. Peter Plichta has also emphasized science’s
basic underlying hostility toward dogma. With the results of his
74 Fareed Zakaria, The Future of Freedom, Norton & Co., New York 2004, p. 41. Zakaria is editor
of the U.S. magazine Newsweek International and former chief editor of the magazine Foreign
Affairs, organ of the U.S. think tank Council on Foreign Relations; cf. FareedZakaria.com.
