The Wolves Will Become Sheep
Commentary When some people get power, they become like wolves. They take whatever savage actions are needed to win and dominate. They turn their opponents and critics into sheep who learn to be quiet or face vicious attacks and destruction. Think of Joseph Stalin killing his rivals.
