#despotism

[sictransitgloriamvndi]

“The philosophers say that the passions are too lively, too fiery; in truth they are weak and languid. All around one sees the mass of men endure the persecution of a few masters and the despotism of prejudices without offering the slightest resistance… their passions are too weak to permit them to derive audacity from despair.” ― Charles Fourier

τὸ μήτ’ ἄναρχον μήτε δεσποτούμενον ἀστοῖς περιστέλλουσι βουλεύω σέβειν, καὶ μὴ τὸ δεινὸν πᾶν πόλεως ἔξω βαλεῖν.

- Aeschylus

I advise the citizens to revere Neither anarchy nor despotism And never to cast fear out of the city completely.

"I'm sure we can pull together, sir."

Lord Vetinari raised his eyebrows. "Oh, I do hope not, I really do hope not. Pulling together is the aim of despotism and tyranny. Free men pull in all kinds of directions." He smiled. "It's the only way to make progress. That, and, of course, moving with the times."

Totalitarianism strives not toward despotic rule over men, but toward a system in which men are superfluous. Total power can be achieved and safeguarded only in a world of conditioned reflexes, of marionettes.

Catherine the Great

Ambition is the growth of every heart

I did this for a debate in my European histories class. a girl boss though and through. A strict and strong despot, but an enligtened soul. Though we didn’t win the debate, she did win a place in my heart.

Every dictatorship, whether of man or of party, leads to the forms that schizophrenia loves most: the monologue and the mausoleum. Moscow is full of gagged people and monuments to the revolution.

"Things were more exciting under Lord Snapcase," someone ventured.

"Yes, right up until the point when your head fell off."

"The trouble is," said Mr. Boggis, "that the job makes people mad. You take some chap who's no worse than any of us and after a few months he's talking to moss and having people flayed alive."

"Vetinari isn't mad."

"Depends how you look at it. No one can be as sane as he is without being mad."

Certainly, despotism remains despotism even under the despot who is genius. There is corruption under illustrious tyrants, but the moral scourge is ghastlier under infamous tyrants.

Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (transl. C. Donougher)
