10 Misconceptions that favor despotism

21st Century dictatorships in the minds of their victims

By: Jose Benegas

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book refers to the ideas that Western societies take this days as truth and end up favoring the emergence of despotic regimes, even born from elections. These ideas Benegas described as false are the absolute democracy, dictatorship identifying with physical violence, social democracy itself, egalitarianism, the class struggle, the pursuit of a wise government, identifying and state law, the overvaluation of the press to fight against tyranny, a very loose conception of corruption and income tax which has resulted in a strong surveillance system. While the analysis focuses on elected dictatorships in Latin America, the reader quickly recognize how these ideas have permeated the Western world and await the opportunist that use them in his favor.
