Press censorship, repression of dissent, and the absence of organized opposition allow rulers the luxury of promising whatever they want, with no political consequences for failing to deliver. The result is government of the sloganeers, by the sloganeers, and for the sloganeers.
相比之下，独裁统治者就无需面对这样的压力。新闻审查制度、对异见的镇压以及有组织反对派的缺失使得统治者可以任意夸下海口，却无须为诺言的无法兑现承担政治后果。这就会导致政府由喊口号者组成，被喊口号者把持，并只为那些喊口号者服务。
