Nobody has ever got out of totalitarianism through peaceful or legal means.
This how totalitarianism works, you might vote your way in, but you will have to shoot your way out.
Makes sense, power calls to evil people, so evil people are the type to naturally fall into powerful positions, and if someone like that thinks they will face no consequences for abusing you, they will continue to do so.
If you give people power over you, they are likely to be evil, and that goes for all powerful positions, in fact, evil people will take positions that hold other evil people accountable, just so that they could work with those who they have power over to arrange a conspiracy where all members of the three way standoff are mutually agreed to not do anything to hold each other accountable so that they could all work together to run a tyranny over the people and do what they want (like orchestrating the massive occurance of deaths) without worry.
There's only one thing left to serve as a measure against tyranny, and that's the discontent if the people with their government, they could rise up, and hard reset their country with violent revolt.
So these types do what they can against that eventuality as well, disarming them both physically, in terms of removing armaments and the ability to organize numbers together, and disarming then psychologically, through indoctrinating them with ideas that discourage the resort to force as a method of fostering political change, which often was done by giving them virtues and moral principles that would make such resolution tactics seen unpalatable, perhaps not bad enough to avoid talk of it, but bad enough to put them off from actually acting on it.
Other elements of this gelding of the animal mind is the demonization of the traits of the human psychology jung referred to as the shadow, the parts of the mind that included many aspects of self preservation and resistance to evil, also the parts associated with the capacity to do violence and do so with confidence and without regrets. It's the more primal brains, the monster within the man, the beast part of us.
Hate, fear, anger, greed, etc. All of these were made into devils whose influence was to be externalities and resisted, that their rejection was a noble thing, even though it had meant rejecting a good chunk of our own humanity, that's how we became domesticated over the years without realizing it, our inner ferality was ripped from us, and we were fooled into thinking ot a good thing.
It's a conditioning the Frederick Neitzsche had warned us about, the threat posed by both marxism and Christianity, the threat of denying our true nature, by declaring a valuable half of ourselves evil and trying to purge it from our nature. By losing touch with our shadows, we became docile creatures, live stock and slaves for those who told us to discard our shadows, but who had kept in touch with their own, and in so doing, had held onto the parts of themselves they'd use to dominate and subjugate us with, and become our masters.
Those who espouse a slave morality to others are either slaves or masters looking to sell someone on the mentality of a slave, those who refuse to adopt a slave morality are never slaves for long, if at all.
