Topic: How to survive in dictatorship? - page 3. (Read 4257 times)
Some of us scared to the dictatorship, but some of us favors the dictatorship. As a citizen, we all choose to have a democracy, we all want to live independently. We all want to live free, and no one will dictate our lives.
People automatically assume that dictatorship is something awful and bad by design. It is not always the case. We had examples of a GREAT leaders with authoritarian background.
It is true that some people in power are crooked and depraved, hence the system they create will be corrupted as well. But what if we had man with a mission in mind leading us?
Prime example of extraordinary dictator was Salazar, dictator of Portugal:

Portugal got ruled by a dictator for 36 years. During that time:
- the country paid in full the debts from WW1
- avoided entering into WW2
- stopped Spain from joining WW2 Axis and controlling west Europe
- the country accumulated gold in comparable scale to Switzerland
- co-founded NATO to stop communist advance in Europe.

Some incredible achievements for a man. He cared more about his country than about his own and his family's well being. Completely opposite of what other "leaders" are doing. Yanukovych had everything in his mansion covered in gold, while the people were earning $300 a month. A typical member of EU parliament is earning each month the equivalent of a one year's wage of a normal citizen. Something has to change.
I think a dictatorship is much better than fake democracy.
In a fake democracy you are told that you have the right to choose and given a false hope that your vote means anything, but in reality every decision is still made by the government secret service and others. Do you remember how the number of total votes in Russia were over 100% once? http://gawker.com/5864945/putin-clings-to-victory-as-russias-voter-turnout-exceeds-146

Dictators will only enrich certain groups. Social welfare will indeed look, but not in line with overall number. Don't forget, a lot of people's rights to be cut, and restrictions on authority of human rights, such as a deeper investigation into the government circles. That doesn't include corruption, collusion and nepotism, you agree on that? You just do not feel it.
No false democracy, they continue to strive to be better.

The best choice by far: become part of the resistance and push the dictator back into the hole out of which he came. Then put a lid on so he cannot escape and try it again.
Thats the worst single advice I heard on this forum this week. That will get you prison shower rape time even in places like Sweden or France, buddy.
What resistance against what kind of dictator and for what? Will you kill a cop for giving you traffic ticket, if you consider system to be dictatorship?
Seriously, OP asked how to "survive", not how to play open world videogame.
Same way you survive in any political system. I find it hilarious, when people feel sudden "change" in policial climate. Dictators are more often than not only result of already present conditions. Again, results, not causes.
So, to cut it short. Keep low profile, live in countryside and make good neighbours. Dont like it? Move. Cant move? Well, then you have to be a good boy, but I think you already knew that.

The best option is to survive a dictatorship government is to do exactly what they want no questions asked. That's the wisest advice ever.
but most of the example of dictators we have like qaddafi and hussain mubarik ruined their country !!!!
So what happened once Gaddhafi and Mubarak were ousted? Libya is now embroiled in a bloody civil war, with the ISIS slowly gaining ground. The poverty level has increased by many fold. In Egypt also, the violence has increased after the coup. Minorities (especially the Copts) are facing increased hostility and persecution from the Islamists.
I think its case to case. I think what happened in Syria and Libya were a mistake. there are some cases where in an iron hard is needed to avoid a greater evil to gain stronger root. gadaffi was able to suppress that because he knows his people and the fear or respect that he gets from his iron rule negates these terrorist groups from becoming more influential.

it depends upon the dictator it self if it is good for your country then you should obey him but it is not good then you should stay loyal to your country and stand against him..... but most of the example of dictators we have like qaddafi and hussain mubarik ruined their country !!!!
Being in an authoritarian government or an estate is not 100% brings negative impact or threat to the society. Even if it is authoritarian if the leader is a good leader and a leader for the people then it is a good government and there will be peace and prosperity to the citizens. But if you have a democratic government that is ruled by the corrupt and greedy politicians then people will suffer and whistle blowers will die for letting the truth out.
Authoritarian regimes will never care about their population. The only difference is that in authoritarian countries, all people living in poverty, and in democratic countries all people live relatively lavishly.

Our society do change all the time, it goes and comes back. To be prepared for this changes I think se should maintain discipline in ourselves so that when the authorities gets more strict with their laws it wouldn't be too hard to adjust. Let's just be optimistic towards our society so that we can still enjoy it whatever the government may be.
This is an example of how Russia launches a network of fake information! In fact, Russia's population is not really declining at the moment due to the migration.
That is wrong. For the past 4 years, there have been more births than deaths in Russia. The Russian fertility rate of 1.83 children per woman (estimate for 2016) is one of the highest in the European continent.
The average salary in Russia fell by almost 2 times compared to the end of 2013.
In Ruble terms, the salary has slightly increased. If you take the measurement in USD, then yes. The salaries have declined by around 40%. It is similar to the decrease in the EU, due to the devaluation of the Euro.

A person gets used to everything. Countries in which dictatorial regimes are more stable than democratic. There is no dispute about the policies and people live poorly but stable. They believe that it should be. For Example, Russia. It's probably Stockholm syndrome.
The living conditions matter. Let us compare authoritarian Russia with democratic Ukraine. Russia is doing good by international standards, with higher than average wages and stable population. At least 10 million foreigners work in Russia (of which, 3 million from Ukraine). Now Ukraine is at the rock bottom, with medieval living standards. The life is horrible there and the people have lost all hope.

This is a simple question with an easy answer.
If you want to live then do as your told. Obey the regime and follow its code. You do not need to join them just follow what they want you to do and you'll be fine.
