It was characteristic of fascist regimes [and spiring fascist movements] in the 1930's (and later) to criticize "party politics". If the idea becomes popular it undermines the political system.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
