Abuse of power, terror and curtailment of individual freedoms
The one of Tyranny It is a concept closely linked to the field of politics because it is precisely in the same where it is used to account for a political administration that is characterized by the abuse of power, forcibly imposing political decisions. In other words, in tyranny there is no possibility of dialogue, there is no place for justice, equity, and much less for the search for consensus.
The tyrant, who is precisely the individual who exercises a government of these characteristics, will impose through the force of coercion various policies that he considers correct and consistent to continue maintaining his power and imposing his will without disturbances, of course.
Normally this type of government accesses power through force, for example, after leading and executing a coup that ends up overthrowing the current government, which we must also say, generally, is weakened as a result of some special situation.
This weakness gives space and place for forces or politicians with personal aspirations for government and power to strike blows that will end up giving them that absolute authority they seek to achieve.
Fear, threat and concrete violence are usually the resources used by the tyranny and the tyrant to intimidate the people who govern and of course to ensure that they do not rise up or resist their designs, which are often not in tune with the law, equity, justice and respect.
In this state of affairs, the state becomes a system fundamentally responsible for sowing and exercising terror against all those who are against the regime proposed by the tyranny in exercise. Tyrants always have an armed arm, very, very violent, which is in charge of keeping those who dare to rebel at bay and will also be in charge of repressing those who have exceeded the limits proposed by tyranny.
A strong presence in history
Unfortunately world political history has many examples of this type of government, even today there are many governments that hide behind democracy but in reality exercise absolute tyrannies.
We must make it clear that in no way does this type of government guarantee the development of the community, much less issues such as freedom and access to basic rights.
Colloquial use
On the other hand, it is common for this concept to be used in the colloquial way to name the dominance that a habit or a feeling exerts on a person and that therefore makes him dominate his actions and behaviors completely.
