At FrontPage Magazine they have a motto: Inside every liberal is a totalitarian screaming to get out.

Inside the Progressive Mind
by N.A. Halkides
The Progressive believes in precisely two things: his own magnificence and the constructive power of brute force. In combination, they lead him naturally from the role of pestiferous busybody to brutal dictator. Where the productive man dreams of the things he might create if only left alone by his fellows, the Progressive dreams of the world he could create if only the lives and property of his fellows were at his disposal. The roots of his pathology lie in that oldest and most destructive of all human vices, the desire for the power to rule over other men.Inside Every Liberal Is A Totalitarian Screaming to Get Out

The defining characteristic of tyranny is the diversion of power from the people to the unelected elite. The elite can claim to be inspired by Allah or Marx; it can act in the name of racial purity or universal workers compensation or both. The details don't matter, because in all instances, tyranny derives its justification from the superiority of the rulers and the inferiority of the people.
