Suffice it to say that the words have all but lost their meaning. After all, what is a dictator? What is a fascist? What is a Nazi? If Americans are shown a Washington, D.C. free of crime, safe to wander, perhaps even restored and beautified, and told, “That’s a dictatorship,” then they may just decide that dictatorship is agreeable. They may just decide that the world could do with a few more dictators
Until said dictator get them sent to camps or executed because said dictator want their properties or simply because they needed a scapegoat.

Dictators don’t make places safe, they just lie about how dangerous they are. Often petty street crime has been replaced with police corruption and secret police. What crime there is doesn’t get reported though because the press only reports on what the government wants
And sometimes, these dictators work with these gangsters to get a cut of their profits and an assistance to repress political dissent. There’s a reason why KArl Marx decried Lumpenproletariat…
