tyranny - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
Oppression is not in and of itself evil, even though it is WRONG. It is possible to look at the motivations of oppression and judge whether that particular incident is or is not evil. Oppression and/or tyranny is almost universally fear based though. Fear often leads to disrespect, hate and tyranny.
