How do leaders become leaders in a dictatorship?

Answer 1

Dictators gain power by a variety of routes. Hitler, for example, ran for office, and without winning a majority managed to make a deal with the person in charge of the election, President Hindenburg, and only after taking office, declared a national emergency and assumed dictatorial powers. So you can be voted in, you can also seize power by force in a coup d'etat, or you can be selected by a self-perpetuating oligarchy, which is how the communist party in China still functions to this day.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, in a Dictatorship, leaders become leaders by, like, seizing power through force or manipulating the system to maintain control. It's not like they're winning any popularity contests or anything. So, yeah, it's basically a "might makes right" situation.

Answer 3

Leaders in a dictatorship often gain power through military support, political machinations, or inheritance. They may use force, Propaganda, and manipulation to maintain control over the population. Criticism and dissent are usually suppressed in order to consolidate their power.
