Politics Quote by Steve Crawshaw

““Police in a one-party state have a more or less simple task. If people criticize the government, they are either harassed or arrested. The system is clear-cut and well understood by arresters and arrested alike. Things get more complicated when citizens become implausibly loyal.””
