Corps-Nazis........or.......Czars?

[skyrider]

Remember that lively thread we had a couple years ago about......corps-nazis?

Well........the "czar" word is making the rounds these days. And, I came across this:

"Others have pointed out that having offices called "czars" is an odd naming choice for a democracy. But czars weren't just authoritarians. They were ultimately authoritarians who left their country far poorer than their more democratic counterparts, lost a world war, and of course paved the way for an even worse system of government. The label "czar" thus doesn't historically connect to a model of strongman effectiveness -- it connects to a model of strongman failure."

Maybe....some of you non-corps saw it that way too when corps left your areas far worse when they left for another corps assignment????????

HHHMMM...

Sly yet sometimes buffoonish authoritarian rulers who were incompetant in regards to actually helping people with their positions of authority who ended up being surrounded by buttkissing self centered power hungry yes-men who themselves proved to be even more ruthless, hidden by a false front of respectability and self serving traditions to continue their rule until people got fed up.

I think that "czar" does seem to be a better fit in some respects than "nazi".

HHHMMM...
