“The executive Power shall be vested in a Emperor of the Galactic Empire. This does not mean some of the executive power, but *all* of the executive power.”
“There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the times comes.” - Karis Nemik
"If power is unitary, it has to be incarnated in one single man who exercises it in an effective and personal way."
Darth Vader was an inspirational leader with a potent personal management style. He advanced a reformist agenda with a focus on infrastructure building. Although controversial, he was, deep down, a family man.

People say I "idolize" Palpatine. Not true, I hold a fair and balanced view. The man was neither savior nor saint, but he was, at once, a very successful statesman, a great contributor to the Force and democracy, and said to be a great listener during Senate meetings.
"I would rather commit an injustice than suffer disorder."
"Your Majesty, the government cannot be anything other than the organization of a minority. It is the aim of this minority to impose upon the rest of society a 'legal order.'"
"Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism, Po. It is impossible to finish off capitalism without having finished off social democracy in the working-class movement."
"We were getting ready for a big celebration. We were winning everything. And all of a sudden it was just called off. Frankly, we did win this election."
"The Empire is an explosion against intolerable conditions, against remediable wrongs the Republic failed to remedy. It is a movement to secure a renaissance by people threatened with decline into decadence and death and were determined to live, and live greatly."
"The granting of emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine is a test—in my view, the final test—of whether there is any virtù left in what used to be the core of the Galactic Republic." - Jar Jar Binks
"No force, no torture, no intrigue, no deception can eradicate Marxism-Jediism from the minds and hearts of men, Kylo Ren!"
"Did you ever hear the tragedy of common good politics? It's not a story the libertarians would tell you."
