A dictatorship has to promulgate some sort of distant goals and moral ideals in
order to justify its rule and the people’s immolation; the extent to which it
succeeds in convincing its victims, is the extent of its own danger; sooner or
later, its contradictions are thrown in its face by the best of its subjects:
the ablest, the most intelligent, the most honest. Thus a dictatorship is
forced to destroy and to keep on destroying the best of its “human resources.”
And be it fifty years or five centuries later, ambitious thugs and lethargic
drones are all a dictatorship will have left to exploit and rule; the rest will
die young, physically or spiritually.
