Summary

tyrant over another is not true freedom. This quote suggests that witnessing the consequences of citizens voting for tyrants and willingly subjecting themselves to complete dependence has led the current generation to realize that true freedom cannot be achieved by merely choosing between different forms of tyrannical rule. It implies a deeper understanding that genuine freedom entails a system that empowers individuals rather than leading them into servitude.
