Mussolini was not a very pleasant man. That unfortunately does not necessarily mean his comment, although I take it of his intended context, was not worryingly prescient about the way democracy is being hijacked.
At one end, we find dynastic cronyism. And cultish mobs, and their false assumptions, at the other.

thats why there will be NO ELECTION until at least 6 months after he passes
Thaksin and The unholy prince are close, with this new constitutions in place IF MR t ( or one of his puppets) IS ELECTED again they can force a new coup

Analysts say the constitution will allow the military to maintain power in future without the need to stage coups, of which Thailand has seen 12 since 1932.
"The draft constitution aims to entrench the power of the military and traditional elite, and if it passes the referendum Thailand will move toward semi-authoritarianism guided by the military," according to the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, a Singapore-based research organization.
"With the army's power embedded in the constitution, backed by the Constitutional Court's 'state of exception' powers, the traditional elites would in effect have designed new mechanisms to seize power without resorting to a military coup."
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
