He is trying to say that if Caesar were to live he will enslave everyone for life with the power he has, but if he went ahead and killed Caesar everyone would be able to live free to do whatever. It makes the Romans think that what he has done was only right because they didn’t want to be slaves for him. He felt like he was being the hero and saving the other Romans and needs them to
