Aristotle, one of the two greatest philosophers in the history of mankind, in his work “The Politics” he wrote 2,500 years ago is constantly proving to be relevant and wise over time, showing very well how those who ruled a country can enslave and gradually exterminate its people. This method is unchanged over time.
But the same was pointed out by the other great philosopher of mankind, Plato, the teacher of Aristotle, having fully outlined the result of those who were helpless and disinterested in the public with the result that they are ruled by dangerous and destructive leaders. Μore specifically:
“Tyranny’s aim is to bankrupt the citizens, on the one hand to maintain the regime’s guard with their money and on the other hand so that the citizens are busy and have no time left for intrigue. This is the result of the imposition of large taxes, the absorption of citizens’ property, as well as the construction of large projects that deplete public finances “. Aristotle, “The Politics”
“Every people is worthy of the people who govern it. No one is more enslaved than those who mistakenly believe they are free. Those who do not care about the commons are doomed to always be ruled by inferior people. Plato, 427-347 BC
