Despotism and Authority

An element from a nomadic to settlement, a characteristic, in nomadic oral transmission of knowledge—which included a historical memory and experience, the organization was based in kinship at life time besides of the immediate group for safety and security, all changes when small settlements transform into agriculture, where the need of specialized knowledge created the experts, in cities around and in Mesopotamia an elite of priest knowing the cultivation season transform in dynastic—Egypt innovated not just as servant to the Gods as traditions Mesopotamia Cities, but the Pharaohs become Gods and only them have access to the Gods.

All change when the tribe setup in Athens, become to the demos, moreover the political contrast the tyrant achieved in the name security, like Pisistratus (600 – 527 BC) ruling as tyrant in the late 560s, the early 550s and from 546 BC until his death. Pisistratus pushed for the unification of Attica, his legacy lies primarily in his institution of the Panathenaic Games, historically assigned the date of 566 BC, and the consequent first attempt at producing a definitive version of the Homeric epics. Pisistratus championing of the lower class of Athens as an example of populism, with his power, he confront the aristocracy and reduce their privileges, confiscating their lands and giving them to the poor.

Pisistratus descents also name for the three tyrants as clan name, who ruled in Athens from 546 to 510 BC, his two sons, Hipparchus and Hippias.

Rome in name security, the Consul obtained absolute power by Cesar stop being a human and now God, when Christianity become official religion of the Empire, the regents had power direct by God, this become the foundation Aristocrats in Europe, the Church in the name of God legitimized by coronation the regent, the Church invested the power by God. Napoleon with the secularization of the Empire, the Holy alliance between Prussia, Austria and Russia set seeds of rebellion for 20th but did not stops population to be summited an authority—the Imperial WWI and genocidal race war of WWII, but the authoritarian underline and race, not just the US, but the Soviet based in 18th Russification as equality, despised Genocide of 6 Million Jews and victims of conflict, the soul of humanity had not been redeemed, the racist and authoritarian still with us, US with section of population advocating white supremacist, in Europe the same white supremacist  creating exclusion. Russia delusion of Empire to imposed Russification to Ukraine, in Asia China the authoritarian tradition with ethical and Kong Qiu structure of society, while work in setting a foundation, the lack of transparency, the authoritarian denial created a corruption, but the inability to overcome economic problems as demonstration due COVID just beginning, like all populist, Imperial and racial solutions does not resolved the grievance, because the underline not just political power, but economic—solutions only possible when societies are transparent.
