The clash between (central) planning and democracy arises simply from the fact that (democracy) is an obstacle to the suppression of freedom which the direction of economic activity requires.. . . in so far as democracy ceases to be a guaranty of individual freedom, it may well persist in some form under a totalitarian regime. A true "dictatorship of the proletariat," even if democratic in form, if it undertook centrally to direct the economic system, would probably destroy personal freedom as completely as any autocracy has ever done.
