As Aristotle observed all those many years ago, tyranny is all about arbitrariness. When a tyrant has power, there is no rule of law, there is no governing order. There is only the whim of the tyrant. There is only his inordinate desire to have more than his fair share of everything. Under political tyranny external laws become arbitrary… Under cultural tyranny internal values become arbitrary too — based on his whims and lusts of the moment.
