There is no greater deception than a prison cell mistaken for a throne.
Modern democracy tells its subjects that they are sovereign: their vote is power and their rulers are their servants. Yet, in practice, the system does not free men - it converts them.
The free man is inconvenient to the state; he does not ask for permission, nor does he expect ennoscriptments.
However, the 'democratic state' cannot tolerate such independence. It must convince the self-reliant man that he needs it. Better yet- that he rules it. Thus, the state does not conquer its subjects with force alone - it converts them, one by one, from sovereigns to subjects (dependents).
