        If Muad'dib was based we could at least make the point about two terrors, but he just replaced capitalist/feudal caste system empire with theocratic capitalist/feudal caste system empire, and his son forced nearly entire humanity to live in subsistence farming, and engineered hunger and scattering times that were so horrible that even 1500 years later still nobody even wanted to talk about that.

        Actually, the best option there was was that when Paul and Jessica would die somewhere between the fall of Arteides and arriving at sietch Tabr. Jamis, you had one job... Or maybe if he destroyed the spice, humanity would eventually recover but without the nightmare of spice and ubermensch sects.

      It is definitely a message of Dune that occupied people have the unquestionable right of violent resistance against empire

      Who said that this is the message of Dune? I just said that there are rebels who are fighting against the empire. And by rebels I mean the Fremen.
