Nonsense?

"Citizens are his friends and lovers and treated with the correponding care and consideration"

The entire currency is sex and if they cannot provide that, then they are of no use to him. Of course they are treated with care and consideration but purely because of the entertainment value they provide Lawrence. Without the veil of free-will and respect, that's what the entire system boils down to. It's all about Lawrence's self-interest, not sincerely about the people not unlike the relationship of a pimp and the ladies under his charge that he provides for. It's clear from his exclusive restrictions and his quote about power that he doesn't truly care about the value of life itself, just what he gets out of it

With Cassius, he believes in genuinely improving life to suit his own needs but also to better preserve them entirely as a united body. He's megalomaniacal and a dictator and he certainly would not deny that in the least, but he's also the strongest and believes that is his rightful position. To guide his people his way and that's what he wishes to do for eternity and to shelter them. The people inside his expanding kingdom barely know freedom, only his rule through decaes of propaganda, his thought control over the language they speak, and the cultural taboos under his administration. He's their protector, they are loyal. They are his sheep and he is their shephard.
