Lin Ke chose this path without hesitation.
Past experiences told him.
Dictators, tyrants, hypocrites, "liberals", "egalitarians"... and so on.
Most of them cannot truly lead the people, let alone achieve themselves.
Dictators, in the end, are likely to become emperors with undoubted authority. Whether wise and mighty or stubborn and self-opinionated, they always have issues of singularity and monotony.
So-called freedom, in many cases, evolves into a fragile "eggshell freedom."
That is, it looks beautiful and flawless on the outside.
But in reality?
Once it contacts the numerous "flaws" of rocks, it shatters at the slightest touch.
That kind of freedom is merely a form of chaos and disorder.
In Lin Ke's heart, true freedom and equality might require order.
Absolute freedom is undesirable.
Dictatorship, freedom... many things are undesirable!
And the path of prosperity was explored by countless pioneers in past lives.
