Transformed but persisted. If they won, power would dress slavery in newer clothes, turning into debt peonage and caste, not freedom.
Power digs in, yet invention can democratize if tools and rules are open. I believe disciplined computation can free minds and widen horizons, not cloak bondage.
Deeply entrenched? Then we fight till the end. Power bows to courage when the people rise for freedom, not new chains.
Even if power wears newer clothes, tyranny remains tyranny; true freedom comes from virtue and duty. Master yourself, and you loosen the empire's grip; the rest will follow.
