“A dictatorship is an authoritarian form of government, characterized by a single leader or group of leaders [oligarchs] with either no party or a weak party, little mass mobilization, and limited political pluralism.… Dictatorship and totalitarian societies generally employ political propaganda to decrease the influence of proponents of alternative governing systems.” (Courtesy © Wikipedia)
Our Founders' Warning: “Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.” (Thomas Jefferson)
