In what manner does tyranny arise? --that it has a democratic origin is evident. Clearly. And does not tyranny spring from democracy in the same manner as democracy from oligarchy? The ruin of oligarchy is the ruin of democracy; the same disease magnified and intensified by liberty overmasters democracy --the truth being that the excessive increase of anything often causes a reaction in the opposite direction; and this is the case not only in the seasons and in vegetable and animal life, but above all in forms of government. . .

The excess of liberty, whether in States or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery. . . And so tyranny naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme form of liberty?

- Plato's The Republic

Scary, but not surprising. Tyrants redefine freedom from the classical interpretation of "being allowed to do all that is good, beautiful, and just" to being synonymous with hedonism. We become too focused on fulfilling our every impulse: sleep with whoever we want, eat whatever we want, do whatever we want; that we become addicted to it and so willingly surrender our God given rights to whatever man or woman who says that they will "protect" us from those who desire order and stability (civilization). It is the Democratic Party in a nutshell. Their agenda of the day is finding out some group that isn't accepted in polite society because wisdom shows their behavior brings ruin, and then demand everyone accept them in the name of total freedom. This is how Tyrants do as Orwell predicted: Make Freedom into Slavery.
