LESSONS FROM THE MASTER: There are many good reasons why Aristotle was long considered the greatest philosopher of all. Here one blogger shows how he anticipated Machiavelli's analysis of dictatorships by well over a millenium, with timely illustrations from our current El Presidente.

Dick), and it's called "Aristotle's Suggestions for Preserving a Tyranny (Politics V.11)". Go read it and nod with glee.
