Do you really think he believes that it will be a better world for the subjects of his tyrannical dictatorship he has planned? Or do you think he knows it would simply be better for his ruling class? He obviously knows that in a free world his allies would never be able to attain power. Only in a world where a cabal of socialists take over a major party and most of the media outlets could someone with his views ever gain power. It's Acton's disease, and infects most of those who crave dominion over others to one degree or another. Why would anyone want power over others? Obviously in business it becomes unavoidable that the organization has to be managed. Generally those who crave the power fail because their motives are personal rather than for the greater good. Are politicians mostly those that crave power, and are thus exactly those who should be denied it?
