this is a regime that needs very much to be in dictatorial control. The claim that it needs to be dictatorial for the purpose of stability is not tenable. It needs to be dictatorial because it is the kind of state it is, because of its greediness in what it takes and how it takes it, and because of its stinginess in what it gives and how it gives it. A regime of this kind would not be possible if it were to depend on the consent of the people.
