~d appease mUy""Tom, Dic1l:'.md1'l:arry. If you are strict and punish criminals, they
will see to it that you are not elected next time. And once you lose power you are a
m ere nobody in the state. That is the reason why crime flourishes in democratic
countries.
Nay, there are situations in which crime and politics are hand and glove with each
other. In such a state riminals make you win elections and you protect them with
your pol! IC power. ch a situation is unfortunate and common masses suffer in
it a great deal. That is the reason why in many a country democracy has been
replaced by dictatorship-whether military dictatorship or the dictatorship of the
proletariat.
