The Frightened Planet

People may form a totalitarian state. People may be afraid of each other, in the totalitarian state there is an hierarchy of scared. The Tyrant scares few, more are afraid of these few and so on, like a snow ball falling from the mountain. In the end all are afraid from the image of the system, everyone knows, if they disobey, somebody else will punish them for sure.

Another component of the totalitarian state is the ideology. To create a seed of the revolution the idea which would unite a lot of people is needed. The ideology always claims that all is for high things, that all is for high reasons. When people are defeated by this ideology, no seed of the revolution may be formed, that's why the totalitarian states may last for long.

After the 9/11 the America is on its way to become a totalitarian state. The ideology is already in place. Another much much more horrible terror act will shift the America into a totalitarian state. To unite the Nation Which is in War Against the Terror a leader must be chosen. The leader will soon become a Tyrant.

There is an effective way to defeat the totalitarian states. You just need to step aside from the idea that crimes shall be punished. Then you can offer the Tyrant and all the others a shelter and monetary support for the first 3-10 years. You give 5 days to think. If the offer is not accepted, you send a sniper or a small army force to kill the Tyrant.

By the way, all the systems including the democratic states are totalitarian to some degree. Look and see, there is somebody scared, there is an ideology.

"The country that fears becomes feared". This is not a political statement for either side. Just fact.
