Il Duce Never Ran On Schedule
There is no link between totalitarian government and efficiency, security, honesty, purity, simplicity, or holiness. There is no trade; you do not get benefit in exchange for fascism, socialism, holy rule, or anarchy. What you trade your freedom for is chains and promises;
only the chains ever arrive.
Many survivors complain about the lack of stability once their chains are no longer there to support them. Some slaves never let themselves be freed. They insist that the promises were better than the reality they face. They will frequently try to kill the liberators, especially if they were privileged. It is much better, some feel, to be chained to the top of a mountain than walk freely as an equal.
Free people forget this. The trains never run on time, but no slave survives saying they are late.
UPDATE:
Thanks for the link Mike! I'll try to be topically pompous more often!
