De revolutionary tyrants Posted
26/Febrero/2011 for separatism and civil war ... Be prepared for chaos. "How are the tyrants? With rare skill, in The Republic Plato portrays the revolutionary transformation of tyrants. The text today is staggering, in Book VIII states: in the early days, the tyrant in the making smiles and greets everyone who is on your side. proclaims its promises, a pound of their debts to the people and distributed some land. benevolent is presented, and no one imagines that will become a despot. His metamorphosis begins when deemed to have destroyed their external enemies. Start, then new struggles for people to notice the need for a driver. They are battles you can also maintain an open door to destroy those who revindiquen freedom or prosecute those who begin to censor noticing his tricks, although initially have supported and enabled his rise. To these critics, out of the way and little by little, there is no good person in their immediate environment. To stay in power, the dictator begins to require a vast army, and does not care that it should spend even that which does not belong.

Ahmadinejad's attitude is not related to the persecution of intellectuals critical of their country, including the filmmaker Jafar Panahi, director of The Circle, a film recently shown at Quito.

Plato does not say, but when the people removed the blindfold from his eyes, the end of the tyrant is at hand. This is demonstrated by history.
