PROEM & POEM No. 89 - What Is Tyranny, What Is Slavery / 4th Reprise
It is astonishing how many will read and agree with the preceding installments, yet still hold to politics that logically, ethically even monstrously contradict. They reject of course the brutality of whips and chains to force people to work 1, 8 or 24 hours a day, while accepting the equal brutality of taxation and expropriation to force people to forego part or all work expended in forms of levied monies, possessions, properties, etc.
By such tyranny or enforced foregoing of labor indirectly, similarly, by such slavery or enforced foregoing of labor directly, time is inhumanely taken, forever unrecoverable per both means, as it is for theft, rape, murder or any other act coercive thus violent, exacted upon dissenting victims. To rightly expand, the legal, social, religious, sentimental, emotional even popular (democratic) context, as well (perceived) moral objective or common good, do not lessen the ethical dilemma ever present amid any act of force always disrespecting and disregarding the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent.
Consistently monstrous, the end result of Tyranny (all Isms save one, see Nos. 32, 54-70, 74-80) and Slavery are the same, regardless how either are dressed and adorned by the various misguided even nonsensical Isms.

Flesh and blood threshed in mud `low glorious rains
Among gregarious refrains, chicaned till coup de main
Schisms wage, isms arrayed as swains yet bane to one
Lies spun, truth shunned thus individualism overrun
