He is a dictator who is treating many people badly, it is horrible and he should be shot! this is my opinion and as I'm from Zimbabwe I'm entitled to my opinion.
Voltaire believed in tolerance, reason, freedom of religious beliefs, and freedom of speech.
For the same reason every despot through history has disarmed their adversary... The easiest way to enslave people is to remove their means to resist. Once the armory, or the stockpile of weapons and munitions was destroyed the British would have an easier time suppressing a revolution. Only with a means of self defense were the colonists able to through off the chains of tyranny.
Interesting question. Turns out Voltaire and Catherine the Great carried on a long correspondence for about 10 years. Voltaire respected Catherine and referred to her as an "enlightened despot". Although he disapproved of her extravagant court, he admired her strong leadership and rule. He also called her the "Star of the North". He thought so highly of Catherine, he evidently kept a portrait of her in his bedroom. Catherine corresponded with some of the greatest minds of the era and encouraged arts, philosophy and sciences.
