The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude

"There are only four or five who maintain the dictator... not the six thousand but a hundred thousand, and even millions, cling to the tyrant by this cord to which they are tied."

Tyranny is not imposed; it is invited. La Boétie maps how power metastasizes through favors, flattery, and fear--how millions bend the knee so a few can rise. A cold, lucid anatomy of submission, and a quiet, devastating call to end it.
