Fear.
I believe that those tyranical leaders who use fear to control people are actually terrified themselves. They are at some point in their life currupted by fear.
For example Adolf Hitler grew up in an opresive home, where is father beat him and two of his brothers passed away. While he was still young his mother and father died of different illnesses. At some point in his life the young Adolf must have felt like he had lost all control. Fear of another tragedy made him insecure and in deep pain. He must have decided at some point that he would regain control, life could not make him small. So he stepped up running from the fear towards power. Really he was feeding that anger towards life, raging to stay in control. Whatever it took. Even if it meant the genocide of a race he felt threatened by. He was afraid.
