He means jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

But, I never had the impression that Zero or any of the Black Knights wanted to actually rule Japan. The only way the USJ and SAZ would be similar in that regard is if the USJ became a military dictatorship or an absolute monarchy.

I've always felt that by the story's end, if Japan won its freedom, the power would be shifted from Britannia control to the 6 Houses of Kyoto. Now, the 6 Houses may indeed put in an absolute rule type government, but I never got that impression either.

In fact, the best resolution internally within the Britannia Empire isn't Suzaku doing things his way. It would be for Lelouch to succeed his father as Emperor and work at things from the top (or another more compassionate than Charles), but I'm not sure if the story is heading that way.
