"Mira, las personas con poder entienden exactamente una cosa: la violencia."
— Noam Chomsky
Simplified Meaning:
People who have power tend to rely on force or threats to get what they want. This means they often use aggressive actions or the fear of such actions to control others. For example, in history, many dictators used violence to keep their power and to make people obey. They believe that showing strength through harsh measures is the best way to maintain their position. In everyday life, this idea can help us understand why some leaders or people in authority might act in a bullying manner. Recognizing this can help us find better ways to deal with situations where someone is using force to control others.
