Democracies/dictatorships

The biggest advantage that democratic governments enjoy is that they managed to convince their population that they are free. This advantage, of course, facilitates repression and control. For purposes of control and repression of populations, democracies have been proven to be far more effective than dictatorships. In fact, the very distinction between dictatorships and democracies is a devious democratic invention to disguise its own repression and deception.
