Dictators (aka authoritarians) tend to remain in power - until they die - as long as the people they oppress despair of getting anything better. Revolutions start with rising expectations, when the people begin to get some hope of improving their situation. Those dictators who are still holding on to power are those who successfully deny their people hope.
