As a person from Soviet Russia, I can tell you that it's not unrealistic for a tyrant to take advantage of the hungry and jobless.

Would you defend your land and risk a somewhat certain death?

Or would you retreat and reorganize and give liberty a fighting chance?

Is The Hunger Games on HBO this month?

I would seek out a leadership position in the new government, then hunt down and destroy the rebels by creating a weapon system the size of a small moon and randomly destroy planets.
