"Characteristically, however, the overthrow of the dictator simply means
that there will be another dictator. ... the policies they follow will
probably not be radically different. If we look around the world, we
quickly realize that these policies will not be radically different from
those that would be followed by a democracy either."

1987), p. 20.
