Yes. Dictatorships can still happen and if the government passes laws that take away rights it's up yo the people yo revolt with gun power. |
There is no reason for a 1st world country to be run as a dictatorship.
You are already oppressed through taxes and laws that ensure you are not motivated to rise above a certain level. The harder you work the less benefits you get. The less you work the more government benefits you get, and in turn these people vote for the gov that give them those benefits. A small price to pay to stay in power and get rich.
Then you got hidden taxes in all the things you buy which offset those benefits anyway. Then every so often they raise the retirement age for eligibility to get the pension. The next generation will work till they die.
