I recall a Scientific American article (I believe it was in
Mathematical
Games or its successors) which showed that using a chain of synonyms about
as long as what you are using here it is possible to create a chain from
almost any word to its opposite.
Here's a few I came up with myself:
With ignorance, superstition is born. With superstition, religion is born.
With religiou, culture is born. With culture, civilization is born. With
civilization, strength is born.
With freedom, revolution is born. With revolution, consolidation of power
is born. With consolidation of power, dictatorship is born. With
dictatorship, slavery is born.
