A book that best discribes any dictatorial regime, be it left or right. That is why it was forbidden in the past in the countries of the communist block.

For sure - "power corrupts & absolute power corrupts absolutely"
That is definitely one lesson history teaches - whatever the regime, right wing or left wing. Unfortunately it is the nature of humans to fail to learn the lessons of history and thus we are condemned to repear it.
