Is the government of China a Dictatorship or Democracy?

China is a dictatorship, but more specifically, China is a right-wing Leninist State. Leninism is the political theory that a single party rules the government and governs all affairs as opposed to individual politicians. China is often improperly called a Communist country and the confusion stems from the fact that the single party in China is the Communist Party. However, the Chinese Communist Party does not practice Communist political theory, but rather state-directed, right-wing economic and political theory.

Is autocracy a dictatorship?

Yes, because they both types of government and they both have some sort of leader.This is Hyusuf's Answer:

No, they're not alike at all. You see, a democracy is ruled by the people and a dictatorship is ruled by a dictator, who doesn't listen to anyone's opinion. Okay, I admit, they DO have the same sort of leader, but if you were to put that on a test, do you really think that would count as an answer? I have many more differences, because I'm working on the differences AND similarities for an essay. i just don't have time to write them all. I'm having trouble finding similarities!

Is north Korea's form of government a dictatorship?

North Korea is officially a socialist republic, but unofficially it is a totalitarian Stalinist dictatorship. There are three political parties in North Korea: The Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), the Korean Social Democratic Party, and the Chondoist Chongu Party. Together, these three parties participate in the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland, or the Fatherland Front. As of 1998, the Fatherland Front has two equal and separate executive branches: the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), led by the president; and the National Defense Commission of North Korea (NDC), led by its chairman. Prior to 1998, from 1993, the NDC was subordinate to the SPA; and prior to 1993, from 1972, the president of the SPA ruled the NDC, himself (rather than an elected chairman). The SPA, led by president Kim Yong-nam, consists of 687 constituent deputies who are elected to five-year terms. Candidates are chosen by the Fatherland Front. Officially, under the Constitution of North Korea, any citizen 17 and older is eligible for office, regardless of political party, but since the electing comity is controlled by the majority members of the WPK, led by Secretary General Kim Jong-il, it ends up being a single-party state. Once someone is nominated for a position in the SPA, only the elected individual is listed on the ballot; anyone 17 and older can vote for this one person (see how that works?). The SPA appoints a premier (currently Kim Jong-il), who appoints three vice premiers and several ministers (finance, foreign affairs, education, labour, culture, etc). The NDC, led by Chairman Kim Jong-il, controls the military; in a militaristic state, this gives the NDC a lot more power than the SPA.

What kind of dictator was Hitler?

According to Ian Kershaw's biography, Hitler was lazy and rather disorganized with the result that he was something of a "weak" dictator, inclined to yield to pressure from below ... Hitler was highly conscious of his public image. The Volkswagen, literally "people's car" designed by Ferdinand Porsche was the Nazi version of a car in every garage. Hitler also made sure that every German household received a free radio, but these were special radios made so that they could receive only the state propaganda of Joseph Goebels. In contrasting Adolf Hitler with Napoleon Bonaparte, I find that Hitler had a much thinner skin, but it is understandable. In Napoleon's time there were no radio and newsreels, although Napoleon did have a German newspaper publisher executed for being too critical of him. If not for the war, it is conceivable that Hitler would have remained a mostly popular dictator in Germany for the rest of his life.
