As usual, I will preface the following comments about the latest Democratic presidential debate by saying, “Please!

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom’s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville.
