The cost of freedom is high. If peace is all you want, roll over and play dead when the despots take over and they will let you live in peace. It will, of course, be the peace of the slave but, hey, if thats what you want, go for it.
If, on the other hand, you want the freedom to live as you please, you will probably have to fight for it every day of your life in one way or another.
So take your choice; freedom or peace. The chances are not very good that you can have both.
The two are NOT the same thing.
