It may be a good time to study how Stalin came to power in the USSR. It wasn't through the political establishment, but by taking absolute control of the bureaucracy.
- AlexandrB 2y agoThe USSR was already a one party dictatorship at that point, so I don't know if that's a relevant example.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoYes, it was a single party government, but not consolidated under a dictator until Stalin. Even Lenin, until he basically retired (was very sick and died soon thereafter), didn't have the iron grip on the government that Stalin did.
