One of the terms that appears in the national anthem is precisely despotism
National anthem of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
Coro
Gloria al bravo pueblo
que el yugo lanzó
la Ley respetando
la virtud y honor(bis)
I
¡Abajo cadenas! (bis)
gritaba el señor (bis)
y el pobre en su choza
Libertad pidió:
a este santo nombre
tembló de pavor
el vil egoísmo
que otra vez triunfó.
II
Gritemos con brío (bis)
¡Muera la opresión! (bis)
Compatriotas fieles,
la fuerza es la unión;
y desde el Empíreo
el Supremo Autor,
un sublime aliento
al pueblo infundió.
III
Unida con lazos (bis)
que el cielo formó (bis)
la América toda
existe en nación;
y si el despotismo(bis)
levanta la voz,
seguid el ejemplo
que Caracas dio.
