Not all dictatorships are violent and abusive.  Some are benevolent to the
welfare of the people as a whole.

In most of the cases, opposition is permitted.  It is the degree of
opposition that one must be very careful of.

If you incite an insurrection, then the government will come down on you.
Same thing happens in the USA.

You are free as long as you don't say too many bad things about the
administration, as long as you don't try to promote
independent nation status for your state, and as long as you don't stage
riots in the streets.

Ruby Ridge, Waco, and other incidents proove that the USA is
really not a very free place to express ideas or lifestyles which
are politically unpopular.
