dictator

A dictator ( Dictator , Tyrant , Despot, Strongman ) is a term used to refer to the highest leader of a country who has absolute, unchecked power, or a person who has a strong tendency to handle all matters arbitrarily. They mainly rule the country with titles such as Supreme Leader , President , President , Prime Minister , President , Secretary General , and Supreme Commander .

The Chinese character for 'dictator' means 'one who works alone.' You can think of a person who makes all decisions alone, ignoring the opinions of others, like a person cutting pretty fabric with scissors at will. For reference, the thread Sabyeon (糸), which is an essential part of cloth , has also meant an orderly precept in the Chinese character culture since ancient times, as the word gyeong (經, scripture) represents . In other words, dictatorship was viewed as an act of breaking up an organized system at will .

The etymology of the word 'dictator', which means dictators in English, comes from the dictator perpetuo, an office of the late Republic of Roman. Originally, the dictatorship was a temporary job designed to delegate the entire sovereignty to an individual for up to six months in order to break down when the state was in danger of existence in the Republican era, which was ruled by two consolidants . However, after Sula succeeded in the coup , the dictatorship was strengthened as the dictatorship was abused to punish the silence, and the dictatorship of the dictatorship, which later changed the dictatorship that Caesar was an emergency, was changed as it is now.

As can be seen from the definition above, dictatorship means that there is no check on power, and is a separate concept from whether or not the leader receives the support of the majority. Therefore, the opposition to 'dictatorship' can be said to be 'separation of powers' rather than 'majority support'. In the past and even today, there are dictators all over the world who satisfy the classical meaning of democracy, which is ‘majority support.’ Rather, many dictators received the voluntary support of the majority of the people, at least in the early stages of taking power, and even after taking power, they try to care more about their approval ratings than politicians in democratic countries.[3] For example, Napoleon Bonaparte , Adolf Hitler , and Vladimir Putin all became dictators with the support of the majority of the people.

However, since dictator is a term that has a negative connotation in itself, it is rare to call a ruler who is good enough to take power in a legitimate way or sacrifice himself for the people as a dictator. There are many cases where dictators have been in power for a long time or for life, but this is not always the same. Just because a person has been in power for a long time does not mean that he or she is a dictator, and on the other hand, there are cases where a dictator does not remain in power for a long time or permanently. An upright leader or a leader who took power in a democratic way is not called a dictator even if he or she stays in power for a long time. If he is unconditionally a dictator just because he has been in power for a long time, the Pope , the head of state in Vatican City, should also be a dictator, but of course no one calls the Pope a dictator. This is because the Vatican is governed according to principles based on Catholic doctrine. Likewise, Tagge Elander , who served as Prime Minister of Sweden, was in power for a whopping 23 years, and Angela Merkel, the female Chancellor of Germany after unification , was in power for 16 years, but few people view her as a dictator.[4] On the other hand, although Myanmar's Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing has only been in power for about three years, he became the head of state through illegal circumstances and is treated as a dictator by everyone because he massacred civilians and destroyed democracy and constitutional law in the process.

By definition, the monarchs of most pre- modern despotisms are also included as dictators, but despots in history are generally not called dictators. The difference between a dictator and a despot is whether that power can be justified. Before modern times, when the class system was universal, it was considered natural for the monarch to have all of the power of the state, but in modern times, as the theory of separation of powers based on republicanism developed, the idea that absolute power that no one could check was unjustified began to spread. Therefore, after committing a coup , modern dictators use justifications such as 'the country is in danger, so the military will rule until the end of the state of emergency', or they at least make a pretense of receiving public support by holding a formal election , even if it is a rigged and fraudulent election . One of the reasons why Napoleon Bonaparte is called “the first modern dictator,” unlike previous monarchs, is because he came to power through voting with the support of the French people in the process of ascending to the throne. Even a hereditary dictatorship that is almost a despotic monarchy, such as North Korea, is considered a dictatorship because it holds elections even if it is a formal election in which only one candidate runs and 99% of the votes are in favor. Saudi Arabia nominally takes power not with the support of the people but with blood and religious causes, and there are no formal elections for members of the National Assembly.[5] Because the royal family shares ministerial positions, the King of Saudi Arabia is usually called a despot rather than a dictator.[6]

These names and definitions were borrowed not only in politics but also in other disciplines . The game theory, the lower sector of economics, has a category of dictatorship game. Because it realizes his decision as it is, he is named dictator.

The dictator justifies the power in the name of the society when it is confused and pursues social stability. And he is often suppressed as a traitor who challenges the country. To this end, the dictator focuses on the dictator himself, and then reigns over the people, wielding the legal power. Thus, dictators often have obsession with identifying their nations with themselves . For the same reason, the violence of the dictator is consistent with the violence of the state itself.

There is no way to make sure that this crisis can only solve this crisis. In addition, the dictator's move tends to be more objectively accepted because it is a history of IF. Thus, in general, the majority of the people belonging to the dictatorship advocate because they do not want to make more confusing society. For this reason, it is often misunderstood that the country is accepted as a dictator for the dictator.

In fact, dictators are not supported because they are needed, but they can continue the dictatorship because they are not enough to backlash . Thus, even if a backlash actually occurs at a collective level, the dictator tries to suppress them. In general, the dictatorship is delivered to the people in the dictatorship, so the dictatorship is hidden unless it is quite a bit, and even the dictatorship leads to the catastrophe as soon as it ignores the representative for dictatorship.

In general, even after a dictator is overthrown or disappears, he or she is often dug up from the grave, talked about by people, and treated as a lieutenant . In particular, the generation born after the dictatorship is disillusioned with the previous generation, which was able to resolve the country's crisis in 'just the same way', and they never look favorably on the dictator. However, ironically, if a national crisis such as an economic recession or social chaos continues even after escaping from dictatorship, a common phenomenon appears across the world, where people miss the 'dictator era when the country was stable' and 'the dictator era where everyone did not live equally.' The person who caused social chaos in the first place is the dictator, but they mistake the dictator for someone who served them but was abandoned and buried. If this goes too far, it develops into fascism , militarism , totalitarianism , etc., creating another vicious cycle. The Axis powers in World War II took exactly these steps. Usually, this feeling of mourning is the motivation behind the reactionary forces that worship heroism . However, among dictators, there are people who are recognized and respected by some circles for their contributions to economic development and national reconstruction, regardless of the fruits of the dictatorship. Representative examples include Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who is revered as the father of the country, and Park Chung-hee, who is credited with the economic growth of the Republic of Korea .

Dictators emerged mainly in countries that gained independence after World War II .

Politics is a game played by politicians to catch power . Democracy is to be accepted by various opinions, to be interested in politics, to prevent the government from abuse of power, and to improve the quality of life of the people. The level of education and income should be thick, the rule of law must be properly performed, and the balance and multi -party system of power must be guaranteed. At this time, however, the independent new nations were not able to escape the pre -modern society, so democracy was not settled properly.

The factors that have emerged dictatorships in most backward countries are important factors of politicians and abilities, but this social contradiction was created. The process of the new nation's dictatorship was made of political power that monopolized power in the peak of charismatic individuals, and was unable to replace the regime. In this regard, India , the world's largest democratic state, is no exception because of the long -term power of the Neuru family. Under the agreement of the upper class, it was transformed into the form of dividing power. There are some conditions for dictatorship to collapse, as mentioned earlier, as mentioned earlier, they advocate democratization and regime reform in the middle class with higher education and some income. In this case, Taiwan , Korea and Chile are discussed. As a result, the vast majority of the wealth of the state are not the people, but the countries that come from underground resources, even fees, and tolls are hard to expect democratization. If the wealth of the state comes from the people, it is difficult to check if the power is afraid of not receiving the tax of the people, or if the people support the political rivals, it is very easy to control unless it is.

Above all, the role of the first leader is the most important to establish democracy in the new country . It is the most famous case of the US George Washington and Turkiye Ataturk , which was not strange to reign as a monarch right now, showed an example of withdrawing itself or breaking power in his own to prevent the state from being transformed into a monarch.[7] In the African continent, which moaned dictatorship, the only two countries, Mauritius and Botswana , who had no dictators, were not in the swamp of dictatorship because the first prime minister or the president was exemplary.

During World War II , Iosif Stalin and Adolf Hitler , the largest rivals in history, are notorious. Before and after Stalin, Vladimir Lenin and Nikita Khrushchev are also dictators, but they don't seem to be so serious. It seems that the image of the oppression is weak and the dictator image seems diluted. In the beginning, Nikita was dismissed from the power of power, and both of them were in common.

Cambodia's Pol Pot died of a heart attack in a small house and his body was burned, Equatorial Guinea's Francisco Macias Nguema and Romania's Nicolae Ceauşescu were executed by firing squad, Libya's Muammar Gaddafi was lynched and murdered by his people and his body was roughly buried in the desert , Liberia 's Samuel Kenyon was killed after terrible torture, and Afghanistan 's Mohammad In the words of dictators, such as Najibullah and Benito Mussolini , whose body was hung upside down at a gas station after being shot, there are many cases in which they lose all power and suffer miserable ends. There are also cases such as Idi Amin , Robert Mugabe , Syngman Rhee , Ferdinand Marcos , and Alfredo Stroessner, who all enjoyed heavenly life but lost power and were driven out to die abroad .

However, more people have lifetime power and enjoyed the water. Iosif Stalin , Mao Zedong , Josip Brose Tito , Kim Il -sung and Kim Jong -il are representative characters. Fidel Castro , Ho Chi Minh , Lee Quanyu , Emilio Baby Day , Leopols Sedar Sanggor , and Toma Sangkara are sometimes handled by heroes. In particular, Lee Kuan Yu succeeded in hereditary for her son Lienlong . However, even if it is not kicked out of life, the regime may collapse after death, such as Stalin or Tito.

When a dictator loses power, steps down, or dies, his legacy and legacy disappears. Even if the dictatorship disappears immediately, what it left behind in society will not disappear. In that respect, if he receives heavy criticism shortly after his disappearance, it means that dissatisfaction has already been building since he took power. On the other hand, when the economic crisis or social problems worsen, some followers nostalgic for the days of dictatorship. Representative examples include Nicolae Ceauşescu and Kim Il- sung of Romania.[8]

A similar example is Mao Zedong in China . It received great criticism posthumously due to the Great Leap Forward Movement and the Cultural Revolution , but in the 21st century, China achieved economic growth, but as Deng Xiaoping 's Theory of the Good and the Rich showed, prices soared and the gap between the rich and the poor widened, claiming that "the era of Mao Zedong was better". There is an example of However, it is unreasonable to accept this as it is, as many generations who did not go through Mao Zedong and Hua Guofeng's rule entered society after the 2010s, and Xi Jinping 's strengthening of power and deepening dictatorship began in earnest. Moreover, due to the nature of Chinese politics, there is no reliable public opinion poll of those who experienced this time.

The same is true of Saddam Hussein in Iraq and Enberh Ho Ho of Albania . In fact, there are quite a few people who miss Yugoslavia of former President Yosip Brose Tito in Eastern European countries , such as Serbia , Croatia , Montenegro , North Matesdonia , Slovenia , Bosnia Herzegovina , and Eastern European countries. It was very peaceful, such as integrating and ruling various Slavic people and regions of the Balkan Peninsula into a single nation, and after the death of Tito, domestic conflicts between people, religions, and regions were deteriorated, and wars were divided into many small countries, and Yugoslavia was divided. Many people miss 'Tito's Yugoslavia' by recognizing all kinds of ugly things such as massacre and rape. # In the Central African Republic , there are many people who consider Jean Bethel Boccasa as the greatest leader in the history of the Central African Republic, and even in Romania and Uganda, more than 60% of the people miss Chaucecu and Idiamine .

In Africa, Somalia 's Siad Bare , Gabon 's Omar Bongo , and Libya 's Muamar Kadafi . Somalia's Siad Bare is a military dictator in the 70s and 80s who don't know well in Korea, and there are often people who miss this human dictatorship, rather than dying in Somalia's civil war. Of course , there is a trap that the present human influence was a great influence that Somalia was changed to Hellgate (...). Gabon's Bongo also had a long -term corruption in the long -term power of life, and North Korea 's Kim Il -sung and Syria 's Al -Asad , but they had a power to his son, but he raised Gabon from Africa to a high -per -person income country , Robert Mugabe , Idiamine , Shiid Barre , Mengstu Haile Mariam It is said to be better than other African dictators. In the case of Gaddafi, he was accused of being cruel dictators in Libya, including Libya, and in 2011, and in 2011, he was caught in the spring democratic revolution of the Spring Democratization of the Arabs, but he was severely beaten and killed inside Libya, but after the collapse of the Kaddafi regime, the new Libyan government was confused with the affitors. As it is missing, it is good to be alive in Libya, and there is a tendency to miss the Gaddafi era.

On the other hand, the people are saying, "I will not follow anymore." In this process , Syngman Rhee of Korea , Hosni Mubarak of Egypt , Ferdinand Marcos in Egyptian , Ben Ali in Tunisia , Bulgaria 's Todor Zipkov​​​​​ Like Gustau Fusak and Chile 's Augusto Pinochet, they may be legally punished in a state of surviving or surviving after dismissal, but they are not letting them go, and they are struggling to protect their power . It is also confiscated. This includes Romania 's Nicola's Chauchersku , Liberia 's Samuel Kardan , Libya 's Kadafi , Afghanistan 's Muhammad Nazi Bura , and the equator Guinea 's Francisco Masiaz Nigima . Yemen 's Ali Abdullah Saleh was driven out of Arab's spring , and he was unable to regret the power of power and was caught with a group of soldiers . Or there are some cases of assassination, such as Park Chung -hee , South Korea 's Hendrick Fervurt , and even have been assassinated by foreign powers, and the regime collapses and extracts , including Saddam Hussein , Cambodia 's Paul Port , and Uganda Idiamine . On the other hand, it is extremely rare, but it is a Fidel Castro in Tanzania 's Julius Niere and Cuba , and Malaysia 's Mahathir Bin Mohamat .

Venezuela 's Nicholas Maduro was a bit vague, but in 2013, he succeeded the president from Hugo Chavez , but he was in the event of a Venezuela economic crisis, and instead of saving the economy, he chose the power maintenance and held the 2018 presidential election as a fraudulent election. In addition to filling with pro -Madu, we have built a big Brother system that monitors the people by introducing Chinese technologies . When the Venezuela political crisis in 2019 came, it was possible to be a dictator, such as censoring the Internet , rushing armored vehicles in protesters , or mobilizing mercenaries dispatched from Cuba and Russia .

Napoleon Bonaparte , who created Bonapartism, which was the greatest inspiration to modern dictators, is not recognized as a dictator despite his fame due to his influence in the military field and modern history. Among the dictators until World War II, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin are the most famous among the public because of the huge historical changes during the period when they were dictators , and because the two dictatorship countries, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union , were both powerful countries that had a great influence on the world . Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco , Hideki Tojo is also infamous. In world history after World War II, cruel, incompetent, and oppressive dictators were numerous, without exaggeration, 'like stars in the night sky,' but among these, Mao Zedong and the three generations of the Kim clan were popularly known.[9] , Saddam Hussein , Idi Amin[10] , Pol Pot[11] , Nicolae Ceauşescu , Muammar Gaddafi[12] , Ruhollah Khomeini[13] , Augusto Pinochet[14] , Mobutu Sese Seko , Saparmurat Niyazov , and Robert Mugabe have the highest notoriety and recognition.[15]

Occasionally, neighboring countries invade the dictator's country in the name of 'freeing the oppressed people' by the dictatorship itself. However, the reality is that the dictator is greedy for the land of the neighboring country and invades the neighboring country, and then collapses like the Vietnamese-Cambodian war , Uganda-Tanzania war , and the Gulf War .

It is not uncommon for dictators who are elected by the hands of the people. The most representative case is Adolf Hitler , Franciso Duvalier , Francisco Masiasiaz Nigima , Alberto Fujimori[16] , Ugo Chavez , Nicholas Maduro , Muhammad Murshi , and Pierre Silkurunja . On the other hand , even if the major personnel of the dictatorship inherit the dictatorship after the dictatorship, such as Jangjing Guo , the dictatorship may be gradually promoted, and the person who was the main person of the dictatorship like Roh Tae -woo and Li Deng did dictatorship after the in office. Sometimes it is not.[17]

The dictator's governance techniques include:

It is the most basic frame of dictatorship technique that is used mainly to make the people feel less oppression due to dictatorship, rather than as a way to benefit the people. This is because dictators, even they, know very well that if a civil revolution happens and succeeds, they will not be there.

Dictators are in the position of absolute rulers who control all the power of a country, but in fact, they are ultimately only human beings, so they are not the only ones whose lives are not smooth. When we look at dictators and top leaders, we usually ask, 'Why do dictators mistreat their people?' Or , you think, ‘ I can rule wiser than that guy, ’ but analyze from the dictator’s perspective why a dictator has no choice but to do that. Part 1 analyzes leaders of dictatorships, and Part 2 analyzes leaders of democratic governments, and they have surprisingly similar grievances. Even perfect democracies often falter, and this shows why corruption exists.

Dictators suffer from extreme workload due to their power structure.

Originally, modern states, regardless of whether they are democracies or dictatorships, tend to enlarge the size and structure of their governments to cope with the administrative demands due to the complex and pluralistic nature of modern societies. Therefore, the highest authority who supervises them is also given a huge amount of work. At this time, in democratic countries, power is distributed through separation of powers , local decentralization , and establishment of independent agencies , so many of these tasks can be divided among various officials. However, in a dictatorship, all power and final decision-making power is concentrated in one person, so the dictator has to make most of the decisions in state affairs alone and must figure out, analyze, and organize a lot of things.

The reason that dictatorships, unlike democracies, make it difficult to share tasks with others is because dividing tasks in a dictatorship means weakening the dictator's own power. In all government organizations, the division of work is a process in which the power to perform work is also separated. For example, the task of setting up a redevelopment area is the power to decide which area will be developed, and the task of personnel management is the power to determine the social status of others. If you leave this to a subordinate, he or she will gain that much power, and conversely, from the dictator's point of view, your information power and control will be weakened accordingly. In the end, from the dictator's point of view, dividing power in this way to relieve the workload ultimately becomes an act of increasing the number of challengers who could threaten his political position. In the case of democracies, the process of reintegrating dispersed tasks is relatively easy with the support of legal means or public opinion, but in the case of dictatorships, the power base itself is often based on violence, so the integration process is often accompanied by considerable violence.

For this reason, most dictators take on arduous tasks on their own, comparable to those of CEOs of most large corporations, just to save their lives. Therefore, it is difficult to find a dictator who is lazy or weak, and even if there is one, there is a high possibility that he will lose power quickly. Of course, since they are at the top of power, they enjoy the highest level of medical technology and health care and have the advantage of being able to recover from fatigue or illness relatively quickly, but this also applies to leaders of normal democratic countries.

In democracies, leaders have a term of office, so although leaders in democratic countries are busy as leaders, most of them take a leisurely rest and engage in everyday social life after their term ends. Therefore, there are times when you want to quickly step away and rest rather than trying to enjoy it from a high position. However, when dictators give up their power, they also give up their lives. Of course, it is theoretically possible to pass on power to a trustworthy successor, but passing it down this way is also very difficult, and depending on the situation, it may be completely impossible. Therefore, they overwork themselves for decades, and when they reach their later years, they often become unable to maintain normal health due to tremendous physical and mental fatigue.

Joseph Stalin , a representative example, was a typical dictator who suffered from heavy workload. He had a tendency to be a workaholic , and as he took on most of the work due to the disappearance of many talented people due to the Great Purge, he naturally had no choice but to have a lot of work to do, and in that situation , the largest single war in human history broke out.[33] During World War II, he had to work about 14 hours a day and oversee wartime affairs, and his health eventually deteriorated, leading to his death less than 10 years after the end of the war.[34] Yugoslavia 's Josip Broz Tito only slept about 5 to 6 hours on average on weekdays and weekends, and it is said that Tito's health deteriorated so much in his later years that one wonders if he was the strong man who led the partisans and crossed the line of fire in his prime, weighing only 40 kg right before he died. Syria's Hafez al-Assad worked for an average of 16 hours a day, not including meal and sleep time, and Pol Pot was so overworked that he once suffered from overwork during his term. Xi Jinping also works seven days a week.

It is said that North Korea's Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, who are disparaged as lazy people or pigs due to their svelte physiques and dissolute lifestyles, were usually very busy working while looking at documents pouring in from various departments during the week. According to Kenji Fujimoto, who was once Kim Jong-il's personal chef, Kim Jong-il had to look at documents immediately upon returning to his lodgings even after drinking all day early in the morning, and according to Lee Han-young , the amount of documents Kim Jong-il read per day exceeded 1,000 pages. In August 2008, the National Intelligence Service obtained brain images sent from Pyongyang when North Korea's intelligence agency sought medical advice from French medical staff. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that Kim Jong-il's brain, heart, and overall health were poor, making it difficult for him to live long, and unlikely to live beyond five years. This was proven by Kim Jong-il's death three years later.

The same goes for Kim Jong-un. According to Ryu Hyun-woo, who served as an acting ambassador at the North Korean embassy in Kuwait, Kim Jong-un expressed his stress due to heavy work at a gathering with his father-in-law, Director Jeon Il-chun , as well as Hwang Byeong-seo , Kim Yang-geon , and Kim Won-hong . On January 8, 2014, the 30th anniversary of his birthday, Kim Jong-un invited only the four executives mentioned above, including Jeon Il-chun, to a guesthouse and had a meal after sweating in the sauna. Kim Jong-un is said to have confessed his inner thoughts, saying, “It is really exhausting to take charge of state affairs alone. There are times when I want to throw everything away, but I feel dizzy when I think about what will happen to my daughter.” This is what he said just two years after he came to power in 2012 and right after Jang Song-taek was purged at the end of 2013 . If this statement is true, it is presumed that Kim Jong-un, like his father and grandfather, is suffering from an enormous workload. In fact, Kim Jong-un gained a lot of weight afterward, and his health deteriorated significantly due to excessive drinking, binge eating, and smoking due to stress. His weight, which was in the 90kg range in 2012, increased to 140kg in 2024, gaining over 50kg and suffering from adult diseases in his early 40s. According to Dr. Han-Beom Cho , it would not be strange if he died tomorrow.

Even Equatorial Guinea's Francisco Macias Nguema, who was said to be incompetent to the point of being completely out of touch with running the country, concurrently held more than 30 positions and personally censored all of the country's media and letters, so it is highly likely that he suffered from more, if not less, heavy workload than Kim Jong-il.[35][36] As a result, if you look at the appearance of a dictator before his death, it is common for him to be much thinner than when he first took power. Representative examples include Francisco Franco , Enver Hoxha , and Park Chung-hee .

In this respect, Portugal's Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, a former economics professor, intellectual and dictator, can be seen as a very unique case. He first started as Minister of Economy and showed outstanding ability to turn the government budget into a surplus in just one year, and based on this, he became Prime Minister of Portugal. One of the reasons why the dictator was able to withstand the above-mentioned dictatorship is because most of the cabinet members were intellectuals, so much so that they distributed work to a certain extent, thereby reducing the workload on Salazar personally. Of course, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was overthrown without even realizing that he had been overthrown thanks to their officials.

A dictator is someone who has no choice but to care about maintaining his power rather than developing the country. Even if the dictator makes all kinds of mistakes, such as the Great Purge , the Great Ukrainian Famine , the Korean War , the Arduous March , and the Cultural Revolution , under the dictatorship, these are actually transformed into 'reasons to praise him.' Those who confidently express opposing opinions are reduced to reactionaries who disturb the order of the country, while those who express opinions that suit the dictator's tastes are exempt from responsibility under the dictator's protection.

In addition, due to the heavy workload described in the above item, the dictator is very overburdened with work and there is little division of work, so naturally there are parts that are not of interest, which makes the country run inefficiently. As a result, the state is bound to become even more incompetent as the subordinates in charge of the work proceed with their work in a way that suits the dictator's mood rather than the success of the work.

So if you have the ability and corresponding ambitions, you will never go under the dictator. No matter how competent, you have to live with a dictator's back and forever. In fact, this is also a story about luck, and if it is unlucky, it is not a big deal, but may be out of the dictator's eyes or severely framed and purged. Can you say this is a life of people? If a neighboring country is a democratic country, the elites with abilities will want to go to a neighboring country that can blossom talent.

After all, there is no ability and no corner around the dictator, but only one Abu is confident, so only those who are incompetent to eat a little. They inevitably divide their factions in order to keep the authority of the dictator, and in this situation, it is important that the dictator's rina is good, but the ability to contribute to the development of the state is not important. As a result, there are no talented people who will lead the state and give advice to the top leaders in the dictatorship. This leads to the inability of the regime, the decline in national competitiveness.

Crucially, even if capable people surround the dictator, the dictator systematically prevents such people from installing themselves arbitrarily by deliberately making the areas in charge of high-ranking officials conflict and overlap with each other. As a result, things cannot proceed without the dictator's mediation.[37]

The dictator has no choice but to be the most important of the loyalty , and the way to buy the loyalty is the goods or interests. In reality, however, this is inevitable in order to be possible, or there is no choice but to exploit the common people.

Anyone who is the leader at the top of a large community is likely to inevitably feel lonely, even if there are a lot of people on the outside, because everyone is busy bowing their heads and being polite instead of being true family or friends to them. This is especially true for a dictator because he is the ultimate boss. Moreover, the dictator must show a strict appearance externally to justify his power and suppress reactionaries and opposing forces. As a result, the dictator becomes emotionally isolated as there are no others with whom he can open up in a more equal atmosphere. He reigns over all his subjects, but because of that, he cannot truly live with them, becoming like a being from another world. As can be seen from Aristotle 's famous saying , "Humans are social animals," this paradoxical sense of loneliness causes considerable stress to dictators.

Meanwhile, as the dictator's tyranny continues, opposition activities against the dictator intensify, and in the meantime, extreme attempts such as riots and assassinations appear. Of course, a preparedness plan must be put in place, but national power is wasted in all kinds of inefficient ways for the sake of the dictator's safety, such as changing his sleeping place into a closet to avoid assassination, taking a route that would have taken 20 minutes but taking a two-hour detour for no reason, using the railroad when it would have been easier and faster to go by plane, sending someone who looks like him instead to an important meeting, or suddenly changing the entire schedule for the day. Those assassination avoidance attempts were actually made by dictators, including Hitler , and were very effective.

As he experiences these assassination attempts, the dictator becomes more and more distrustful of people, and eventually becomes unable to trust even his own close associates. A dictator who falls prey to such paranoid delusions ends up taking unnecessarily drastic measures even against his truly loyal subordinates, ultimately destroying his own support base. Even the living cannot help but feel anxious about the mood of a dictator and the fact that their fate and that of their families can be controlled at the touch of a finger. Ultimately, this leads to the departure of talented people, the welfare of subordinates, complacency, and the dictator's own destruction. Adolf Hitler, whom I just mentioned in detail, helped encourage a couple of people in his later years to have a great general named Erwin Rommel executed because it was not enough to raise and support him.

A representative example is Joseph Stalin, famous for the Great Purge . After successful industrialization, victory in the German-Soviet War, and the emergence of the Soviet Union as a superpower, he entered an inviolable territory, but due to numerous suspicions, he eliminated and purged the people around him, so in the end, only sycophants remained around him, doctors were also dismissed because they had the medical skills to assassinate him, and even access to him was blocked by bodyguards, so he was unable to take appropriate action in an emergency situation that really needed medical help, and even his confidants who were urgently called in could not help him. Instead of saving him, he hesitated and neglected him, leading to his death.

Stalin fell asleep while enjoying a banquet until 4 a.m. on March 1, 1953, and as he fell asleep, he instructed his bodyguards not to disturb him until he woke up. It was 10 a.m., and Stalin always woke up at this time to give work orders, but he did not wake up even at this hour, and in the end, no one close to him approached the villa where he was at night until 6:30 p.m., when the lights were turned on. Eventually, after 10 p.m., a package arrived for him, and it was not until 11 p.m., 12 hours later, that people around him opened the door and entered his bedroom. Stalin was lying on the floor due to a cerebral hemorrhage , unable to speak and only drooling urine. Unfortunately, he suspected assassination and personally sent his doctors to the gulag , and it was only after he was purged and called in the prison medical staff to ask for advice that he realized that he was in a critical situation.

Nevertheless, aides and ministers threw him away rather than healing because of the fear and fear of Stalin's power. Stalin, who doubted his lifetime, feared death, and struck out his neighbors, was eventually abandoned by them, and he was left untreated and left for four days without proper measures . As soon as Stalin had fallen, the men who entered the power struggle came to him 70 minutes before his death .

Many dictators hate being criticized .[38] , it is common to purge anyone who attempts this . If this is repeated, the sense of criticism disappears among the people in order not to offend the dictator, and as mentioned above, naturally, only flatterers remain around the dictator.

In order to ingratiate themselves with the dictator, they do not share information that might offend the dictator, or only select information that would offend them. Therefore, after accepting only this false information, the dictator believes the flattery of the vassals as truth, and loses the ability to grasp reality. In the end, the dictator becomes the one most exposed to the false propaganda he made, and paradoxically, the one who is most strongly brainwashed by his own propaganda .

A good example is Adolf Hitler . To avoid offending Hitler, who was furious at the defeat at the end of the war, key figures omitted reports on units that had been defeated and annihilated, which is said to have amounted to dozens. Hitler, unaware of this, gave useless orders to units that had already been annihilated, such as "join the offensive" and "close the breaches." At a time when every piece of information and unit was precious, as at the end of the war, he could not help but make wrong judgments without knowing anything. In the end, Hitler had to keep mumbling about the "last unit" that would come to support (already annihilated) until the very end of the war.

Also, in cases where he is overly closed, even if his normal judgment is slightly impaired, he may end up with the worst possible fate as a dictator, as his close associates overthrow him and do not notice even when they stage a Truman Show . Antonio Salazar is a representative example.

Lee Kuanyu[40] In some cases , Mustafa Kemal Ataturk does not belong to most of the time, and these people belong to very few dictators who were both good and character among modern and contemporary politicians. Like Iosif Stalin, the ability is good, but some dictators have committed too much massacre.

Leaders may also have great treatment , but leaders use them for good purposes for everyone, while dictators are exploited to maintain their personal spirit and status. At the same time, it can be said that it is a little better than privatizing the state without seeing the people. Development dictatorship is also achieved by the dictators of the people.
