“From his first appearance, Dragoumis reveals himself to be anti-parliamentary. He rejects the system and scorns the parliamentary aristocracy that is brought to the surface by the ballot boxes. From his first appearance, he also demonstrates an anti-democratic stance, not only because the two concepts are related, not only because he cannot tolerate flattening and seeks a different positioning and satisfaction of values, but also because he observes that the people are deeply anti-democratic.
Anti-parliamentary, anti-democratic, anti-party, Dragoumis understands from the very first moment that institutions and regimes are not ends for nations, but means and weapons. [...] He studies the influences that come to us from the West, the “new ideas,” and finds that the new ideas threaten the Nation more than the surrounding enemies. They revealed themselves with the sermons of the French Revolution, spread with Democracy, and constitute the spiritual content of “modern civilization,” of republicanism and socialism.
And this culture comes to us insidiously, softly, soothingly, filled with lukewarmness, “with its philanthropy, with its mutual aid, with its parliamentarism, with its leveling, and it makes all people equal to the smallest.” The reading of Peter Horologas' study on Ion Dragoumis, which was honored with a state award in 1939, is significant today not only for those who enjoy revisiting the history of political ideas of our homeland.
It is also important for those who wish to come into contact with authors who emphasized the value of our Greek descent and the eternal cultural dynamic of Hellenism for the continuity of our national life. It is no coincidence that authors like Dragoumis and Horologas are not only pushed into oblivion by the contemporary Greek publishing establishment, but also that attempts are made to disrupt what they did, wrote, and understood.
