shouldn't it be merged with soft tyranny? -- Dert45 ( talk) 12:45, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
I would agree with this suggestion - of merging. Should the final article by "soft despotism" or "soft tyranny"? I suppose it depends upon the exact phrase that de Tocqueville used in the original French. Are there any de Tocqueville scholars out there to assist with this? Richard.

Shouldn't the claim made in this article be challenged? The coined-term "soft tyranny" is NOWHERE used in any of Tocqueville's volumes of "Democracy in America" or anywhere else in his published works.
Neither did deTocqueville use the phrase, "soft depotism": /info/en/?search=Soft_despotism
