'''Erik Maria Ritter von Kuehnelt-Leddihn''' ( born July 31, 1909 in Tobelbad ( now Haselsdorf-Tobelbad ) , Austro-Hungarian Empire; died May 26, 1999, in Lans, Austria ) was an Austrian political scientist and journalist . Describing himself as an extreme conservative arch-liberal or liberal of the extreme right, Kuehnelt-Leddihn often argued that majority rule in democracies is a threat to individual liberties, and declared himself a monarchist and an enemy of all forms of totalitarianism, although he also supported what he defined as non-democratic republics, such as Switzerland and the United States. Described as A Walking Book of Knowledge, Kuehnelt-Leddihn had an encyclopedic knowledge of the humanities and was a polyglot, able to speak eight languages and read seventeen others. His early books ''The Menace of the Herd'' and ''Liberty or Equality'' were influential within the American conservative movement. An associate of William F. Buckley Jr., his best-known writings appeared in ''National Review'', where he was a columnist for 35 years.
