As an aspiring dictator looking to create my minimum viable regime, couldn't I also use some of these same (or similar) techniques to promote the creation of power rather than simply the maintenance of power? This guide is great for the Ayatollahs and Czars of the world who already have a claim to authority. But what about us little guys doing what we can to spread misinformation and dissidence?
- euphemize 14y agoindeed! that's probably a second guide (for junior dictators, or aspiring ones). I guess you could start with the 3 prerequisites at the top of the document, see where it takes you? There's a bunch of small authoritarian regimes that managed to pull it off (Eritrea comes to mind), Im sure it's possible. Good luck!
