I wrote in a prior post that the US was a dictatorship and some may wonder "but our president and members of Congress are elected by us". True, they are...as have so many other renowned dictators in history. Hitler was elected, Stalin was elected, Rhee was elected, Mao was elected, Mussolini was elected, Castro was elected.
How do dictators get elected?
* they don't tell you they're dictators (they call themselves socialists, statists, progressives, reformers)
* you have no election choice (they are the only ones running)
* your election choices are this dictator or that dictator (and your choice is voting for the "better" dictator
* they demand your vote under threat of your banishment or death (ever hear of Siberia, the gulags?)
* THEY BRIBE YOU (know anyone who did/does/will continue to do that as long as you let him?)
* they count on your passivity, intellectually and otherwise.
That's how.
