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.

Now there are only 3 dictators through the world currently (2010) they are Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, China's Hu Jintao and North Korea's Kim Jong Il.
Only North Korea actually states its self as a dictatorship, the rest of the countries here have type of democratic government (Venezuela) or a weak communism (China).

Which would describe a system where a dictator hold authority over nearly every part of life?
Why does a dictator assume power in the government?
The dictator can gain power for wealth and self fulfillment.
Why do you think dictators need to find scapegoats for the nations ills?
There is no need to find a scapegoat for any problem if somebody actually wishes to resolve the problem.
However, there are many governments, especially dictatorships, whose leaders do not wish to improve the lives of their inhabitants lest they be overthrown. (Educated people prefer democracies.) However, the leaders cannot tell their citizens point-blank that they have no interest in catering to the citizens' demands, since this would cause riots. So, the leaders claim that some third party is proving to be an obstacle to this realization. This allows for people to be angry at a third party and release the pressure against overthrowing an inherently unequal and illegitimate system.
The secondary benefits are that:
- It makes it appear that only one obstacle separates people from their liberty and therefore makes dictatorship tolerable.
- It makes the dictator look like a powerful resistor to this evil and therefore an advocate for the people he is actually betraying.
Is democracy more or less efficient form of government than a dictatorship?
Typically more, but that depends on how you are using/meaning the word "efficient", very vague.
How does dictatorship establish order?
Dictatorships work because everybody is doing something like a job and the economy is flourishing and no one is on the streets.
Very bad answer. Dictatorships are not ECONOMIC systems, but governmental systems. A dictatorship can have widespread poverty (Mao's China, Tito's Yugoslavia) or be rolling in riches (Caesar's ROme, Chavez Venezuela)
Many dictatorships were troubled by many unemployed and irate in the streets.
No. Pakistan is a federal republic with democratic institutions of debatable effectiveness. These institutions include political parties and elected bodies at the national, provincial, and district levels. Despite possessing these tokens of democracy, Pakistan can not be termed a democratic country for some of the following reasons.
- The lack of commitment to democratic government and the democratic process among the major political parties in Pakistani national politics.
- The lack of consensus and support for the democratic process in civil society as evidenced by the significant support for past coups removing elected governments.
- The unresolved status of Kashmir and the political rights of its people.
- The inability or unwillingness of the Federal government to halt violence being committed by groups based in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), and in Kashmir.
- The status of women and civil society.
- Universal corruption at all levels of society and government.
This list is not exhaustive, but illustrates that the political process in Pakistan is far different from one that would be described as a democratic.
Military dictatorship in myanmar burma?
Burma (also known as Myanmar) is ruled by a murderous and merciless military regime. Senior General Than Shwe is the current head of state, with his other co-generals, all of them are members of the so-called State Peace and Development Council.
The controlling regime has been criticized for a great number of human rights violations. Shwe's army has destroyed 3,000 villages across the country, launched a terrible campaign against the Muslim minorities in Burma, forcing an estimated 250,000 people to flee to neighbouring country Bangladesh as refugees and recruiting over 70,000 child soldiers at gunpoint. His daughter, Thandar Shwe's wedding, was so extravagant that some of the wedding gifts given to her cost a shocking $50,000,000! The video of the wedding, I think, was smuggled out of Burma and uploaded on Youtube.com, or maybe it was uploaded secretly in Burma...
His army, the Tatmadaw, is now nearly half-a-million strong and uses rape as a weapon against the ethnic minorities in Burma.
There are over 1,000,000 internally displaced people throughout the country, these people have been forced to choose between slavery or to flee to the jungle...many chose to flee into the jungle and are now struggling to survive.
He has continously told the Burmese that his government is following the road to democracy, but the road to democracy that he is talking about is just the road to nowhere and more repression.
Shwe is the one and only man who is greatly HATED by the Burmese people, whatever he does, and if he even says that he is leading the Burmese nation and people to prosperity, he's not.
