The fact of the matter, is that "No governement sits in power without the consent of its people". This is as true today, as it was hundreds of years ago.

Not true. No government of free people (ie. an armed citizenry) can do so. However, brutal regemes with a totally disarmed population can easily stay in power. The Taliban is a classic example. Another is the former USSR. Red China also comes to mind. Need I go on?
