Letters could de-divinize; Democracy not end in itself.

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism.

·       Journalists prove by adopting the key statements of the politicians that their ability to reproduce these statements is more marked than their ability to provide facts.  

·       The effectiveness of propaganda lies in its believablity and much of its believablity lies in the exaggeration of not false but real.

Letters could de-divinize 

·        Marx, the father of a great revolution, was divinized; but creation of this philosopher into the image of god constituted the insurmountable impediment to any effort to the revision of his philosophy. Writings of Marx were understandably beyond the millions of his adoring followers; and this inaccessibility contributed further to the image: human only in forms. Letters could help; publishing hundreds of letters written by Marx to his friends not only could reveal Marx as human beings in his relations to his friends but also these letter could make him a philosopher of a common man as these letters contained succinctly formulated insights that frequently made a point more clearly and convincingly than more ponderous treatments in his work.          

Democracy is not the end in itself 

·        Democracy gives equal right to vote and that must lead to the democracy of consumption; but means become the end in themselves and create the illusion of equality. Democracy is not only compatible with Islam, but a natural outcome of its basic assumptions; means can lead to ends only when there is the rational allocation of resources that is possible only under a planned Islamic economy.
