The tyrant is not merely a villain of history books or a caricatured despot shouting orders from a throne. He is, more disturbingly, a philosopher in action—one whose ideas are etched not on paper but on people. Tyranny is sustained not only by weapons and fear, but by a coherent, if deeply flawed, worldview. To understand tyranny is to confront a philosophy that values power over truth, order over justice, and control over meaning.
