>"Drive nature out of the door and she will rush back through the window.” It seems that the National People's Party and the Zentrum have to “learn” this simple truth time and again by their own experience. They undertook to be "national revolutionaries" and found themselves in the shoes of national revolutionaries—they are now forced to draw the conclusions which every national revolutionary must draw.
>Democracy in Germany is to be the rule of the German people. As long as the will of the majority was not clear, as long as it was possible to make it out to be unclear, at least with a grain of plausibility, the people were offered a counter-revolutionary liberal government disguised as "democratic." But this delay could not last long. During the several months that have passed since March 5, the will of the majority of the German workers, of the overwhelming majority of the country’s population, has become clear in more than a general sense. Their will has found expression in mass organisations— under the National-Socialist German Worker's Party.
>How, then, can anyone oppose the transfer of all power in the state to the National-socialists? Such opposition means nothing but renouncing popular sovereignty! It means no more no less than imposing on the people a government which admittedly can neither come into being nor hold its ground democratically, i.e., as a result of truly free, truly popular elections.
