This doesn't even make sense. Voting has nothing to do with if the people are being opressed or not.

If he expanded citizenry and reduced slavery, that means he was good for invividual rights (seeing as you do not consider electing leaders to be a right).

I never said that Caeser was not positive for Rome in some aspects. What I am arguing is that the ideas that Cicero held (and Cato the Younger) were more congruent with the ideas of Individual Liberty then the ideas Caeser held.
