Democracy: The God That Failed is probably his most popular book.
He believes that one's ability to set rules in a jurisdiction is based on one's ownership of that land and private contracts between the landowner and those who live on the land. It's a sort of monarchy except that it's derived from property ownership instead of ordained by God, and one's obligations to the landowner are specified through private contract instead of absolute. He believes an core requirement of this private contract is a prohibition on advocates of communism and democracy and that people who agitate for those things ought to be "forcibly removed" from society. Hence the meme.

Ohh. Ok. I wondered where that came from. Thanks!
