As is very clear right now, a country need not be communistic or heavily socialistic to in order to devolve into despotism. Tyranny can evolve under any system where the average voter reacts without thought and without understanding and makes the wrong choices.

It wasn't so much the talent or the words or the melodies or the physical beauty, the wit, and charm. It was the kind or person who was doing the singing.
