Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of "one leader, one people" implies a hierarchical power structure, with one individual or group exerting control over the masses. It highlights the unequal distribution of power, implying that in such a system, the leader becomes a master while the rest of the population are reduced to subservient roles, akin to slaves. The quote prods us to critically think about the potential consequences of consolidating power within a single entity and the implications it may have on individual liberty and equality within a society.
