Marionettes for Tyrants

Dictators free themselves by enslaving their people. By asserting authority through force, he ensures that his subjects shall exist in a state of imposed obedience. By erasing the past, concealing words of wisdom and eliminating his competition, the tyrant establishes a vice grip over their hearts and minds. By breaking down the strongholds of one’s mind, he ends up achieving his aspiration by asserting authority over one’s soul. This dangerous power has the ability to tear down the establishment of another’s supremacy and allows the tyrant to place himself at the helm of his now deceased adversary. By doing so, he destroys his opposition by relating to the Vox Populi, drawing them in through their desires and causes a savior complex to surround him in the eyes of the people. This is the only way to assert absolute power. By doing so, these machine men achieve their dreams of dominance and influence; they believe within their machine minds and hearts that sovereignty comes from the barrel of a gun. The only way for us to defeat such men is to allow the people to believe in a life of freedom, a life out from underneath the thumb of his rule. So long as the thought of freedom is well established and good men die for it, liberty will never perish.
