The Bible doesn’t “use the word tyrant, but [cites] the wickedness, cruelty and injustice.” FOLKS, THAT HAPPENS in families, romantic relationships, school hallways, job sites – AND in large-scale economics and government.
“Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler OVER A POOR PEOPLE. A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor.”
“By justice a king gives stability to the land, but one who MAKES HEAVY EXTRACTIONS ruins it.”
(Quotes from Wikipedia “Tyrant” article, and Proverbs 28 & 29)
