Anarchy is possible, but only for a brief time before the dictatorship.
Pray for a Sulla, be content with a Pinochet. Fear a Cromwell.
“Pray for a Sulla, be content with a Pinochet. Fear a Cromwell.”
Sulla retired from his dictatorship, but he set the precedent for Caesar and Octavius to rule the empire. Some emperors that followed were good, others were not.
As our nation descends into a hard tyranny, our best chance may be for a benevolent dictator that allows for free enterprise among those that seek to be productive, and protects our individual and constitionally understood, natural rights. We need some sort of respite and stability it seems, because right now, with Lucifer in the WH, we are heading for the abyss.
I'm curious why you chose this sequence of preference. I'd reverse them.
After gaining power by waging war on the duly elected leaders of the Roman State, Sulla massacred thousands of his political opponents to enrich himself and his cronies, without even the slightest pretense of a trial or due process. Pinochet did somewhat the same, with, IMO, somewhat better justification.
Cromwell did nothing of the sort, though he was pretty hard on those who fought him.
