Why do dictators need to find scapegoats for their nation's ills?

Answer 1

Dictators can gain popular support by blaming the problems of their nation on a scapegoat. In general people like the idea of blaming their problems on someone else. That exonerates them from facing their own personal responsibility. If sacrifices need to be made, people usually prefer for someone else to have to make them.

It helps to unite the people against a common enemy, and add to their power.

How did the world appease dictators?

It really depends on the dictators in question and who is being referred to specifically with "the world". If the question is specifically asking about how Britain and France appeased the dictators of Germany and Italy prior to World War II, it was by ceding Germany control of the Czech territory called the Sudetenland in the hopes that this would stop Germany's ambitions in 1938. As history shows, this attempt to create peace through concessions to a malevolent dictator was not successful and, in fact, galvanized his push for further conquest.

Why would dictators feel threatened by the internet?

Because it is not easy for them to control. People could use it to communicate and undermine the power of a dictatorship.

Neither. Spain is a Constitutional Monarchy. However, it acts as a de facto republic in that the King is really only the Head of State and stays out of most political affairs.

Is a single party dictatorship a type of government in the middle east?

Yes and No.

There is no proper Leninst Government in the Middle East in comparison to the governments of China and Vietnam which are true Leninst governments. A Leninist government is a government where the Single Party effectively rules and all people in the Party are interchangeable because they all represent the Will of the Party and not their own personal beliefs. The leaders of the Party all meet in a Chamber where they vote on policy and then perform it.

In the Middle East, you do have Single Party states such as Ba'athist Syria or formerly Ba'athist Iraq. However, the people of these parties are not interchangeable and may have different ideas about governance. Additionally, the leader of the country (the Assads in Syria and Saddam Hussein in Iraq) has his own unique perspective which the rest of the Party follows rather than having to come to consensus with other party members.

What is the difference between Monarchy and Dictatorship?

Monarchy as a basis of government can be a form of dictatorship and theoretically has a King or Emperor as the executive and a set of nobles or nobility with privileges that the King may, or may not be able to take away. The nobility may have influence on a monarch, but ultimately the monarch dictates legislative functions. The typical Western archetype of dictatorship now prevalent in mass media is when executive, legislative and even judicial function is represented in one person who is the boss, eg King Abdullah, Saddam or Gaddafi? This narrow conception of dictatorship is useful in demarcating in the public mind celebrated monarchical dictatorships of recent Western history from other forms of dictatorship outside the West. Thus the same people who celebrate the fall of a third world dictator celebrate a visit by the English Queen, unable to draw parallels between the two; between the other's dictatorship of today, and their own dictatorships of recent history. A monarchy has succession of power based on birth right but a dictatorship does not necessarily have the same.

Is a Dictatorship government a government ruled by one leader with fear?

Not necessarily with fear. However, due to the nature that the assumption of power took, it is highly probable that the dictator will require to maintain an element of fear in his/her subordinates to dissuade any attempts to overthrow them.

Fear is therefore highly likely, although not inevitable.

Do you get a choice in religion in dictatorship?

It entirely depends on the structure of the dictatorship.

There are numerous dictatorships with relative freedom of religion. Ancient and Medieval China, for example, were absolute dictatorships, but permitted numerous different faiths (Shenism, Daoism, Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) to freely worship within their borders. There are other dictatorships which either (1) have a single acceptable religion (such as Catholic Spain of the 1500s), (2) allow some religions but ban others (such as the Rashidun Caliphate of the 600s which accepted Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, but banned Hubalism, Rahmanism, and other henotheisms), (3) actively repress all religions (such as the Soviet Union).
