I didn't mean that literally. I meant it ethically. The food had strings attached to it.

Do you love Hitler? Don't let the propaganda of the Nazi Party influence you. Hitler could not have done anything if he didn't have the support of the Banking elite, this has been proven as history whether you want to rewrite that or not. All dictators propaganda claims they are loved by the people.
Also you still haven't answered do you think Australia needs a dictator or just the USA???
Our 'senators' of the West have failed us all. It is a state of emergency. Western nations should all consider doing as the Romans would and calling for a Dictator. We must stop going along with the charade that is the capitalist democracy that they give us.

Well, yes, figuratively with an ethical undertone, I meant. He promised to feed the people for their obedience and when they realized the consequences of giving into this, they were already caged in.

This is an interesting point. For anyone who believes that centrally planned economies can exist in a vacuum and persistently exist, I suggest David Steele's paper The Failure of Bolshevism, available here.
He brings up Mises' point that central planning, like dictatorships, eventually rely on the world market prices of free-market established prices. Country x, who happens to have a dictatorship or planned economy, relies on country z's market information to establish prices and economic calculation.
In essence, the government of country z operates on the principles it denies its subjects. Country x then becomes a kind of parasite to country z and all countries who participate in free trade with country z.

Who proved this. Its like all hate yourselves. Like you all have no faith in humanity. You really should all just kill yourselves if that is how you all feel. How do you all look in the mirror? Are you all not ashamed to be human if you all have such a low opinion of yourselves? It must be depressing.
I think most people are good. I have faith in humanity. I think we can do better. I do not hate myself. I am not a defeatist that is too scared to try.
and they used to burn people alive just for the satisfaction of hearing those people's screams.

I shouldnt't be doing this on ATS, or even forwarning the OP on this test., but I believe it will prove a point nevertheless.

OP, you are a pure bas*ard to even think dictatorship is the solution of our woes. And probably even a sadist, if you know the full power that a dictator is entitled.
I cannot stand the way you push and shove your believes of enslavement as a choice for all humanity.
If truely dictatorship is the answer, then may I hope that you will be its first casualty, for a dictator has no trust for those close to him, or even anyone, and will deem them a liability for such affinity to power, just as the devil Mao had attempted to kill off his generations of commie helpers through their children.
You are utter evil, a disgrace to evolving mankind, and a picture frame of regression back to the jungles for all future free generations may learn that idi*ts such as you still exists, despite the years, suffering and pain learnt under dictatorship than mankind had learnt over its course of civilisation.
[/end Test]
Now, Germanicus, how do you feel towards my post to you? Be honest.
I am sure you are disgusted, if not provoked enough to destroy me in any manner you can.
No hard feelings, for we are only sharing insights. It is to prove how dictatorship can corrupt a mortal human's mind, in the belief that one is perfect and beyond reproach, needs no advice from anyone else.
Those whom voice out, just like I did, even if much more civil and humble, will be destroyed, in any manner that pleases the dictator - torture, pain, suffering or outright murder, for dictatorships brook no dissent.
And such are the flaws of dictatorship. It has no ability to correct itself when mistakes are made in order to progress. As such dictatorships will fail ultimately within a matter of time when the suffering citizens screams 'enough is enough'.
Careful what you wish for. Cheers.
