The Essential Rules Of Tyranny
July 30th, 2011Via: Alt-Market:
As we look back on the horrors of the dictatorships and autocracies of the past, one particular question consistently arises; how was it possible for the common men of these eras to NOT notice what was happening around them? How could they have stood as statues unaware or uncaring as their cultures were overrun by fascism, communism, collectivism, and elitism? Of course, we have the advantage of hindsight, and are able to research and examine the misdeeds of the past at our leisure. Unfortunately, such hindsight does not necessarily shield us from the long cast shadow of tyranny in our own day.

To me this tells us that human nature will always lead society to be ruled in a mafia type style: whoever is not afraid to kill for their own advantage, and by the same reasoning not afraid to be killed, will be the leaders.
