“How cruel people can be when they rise up together, a crushing flood that has no mercy for anything in its path. Such a collectivity neither hears one’s cry for help nor offers aid to anyone in need. Instead, it pushes one a side, heedlessly. The tyranny of an individual is the easiest kind of tyranny, since in the end, it is an individual that we are talking about. The group can get rid of him when it wishes; the individual may be removed by another individual, who himself may be worthless and unimportant. But the tyranny of the masses is the harshest type of tyranny, for who can stand against a crushing current, against overwhelming force?”
–Muammar Qaddafi, from “Escape to Hell and Other Stories” (1998).
