America And The Common Characteristics Of Authoritarian Regimes

History has shown us that there is a great deal of commonality among dictatorial regimes across the world.

Dictatorial regimes are aware that the world looks upon them with consternation due to their repression of the citizenry.

In authoritarian countries, the media is the propaganda wing of the regime.

In East Germany under the communist regime, it was common for the Stasi secret police to detain dissenters without a warrant.

The regimes know that the people need to be kept under control.

The regimes knowns that a crushed spirit seldom rebels.

The regime always fears populist or grassroots movements and focuses on targeting and destroying the leaders of the moment.

The regimes know that faith in a supreme being can unite people against them without fear.

The regime knows that financial independence leads to an independent mind which soon begins to rebel.

The regimes of Iran, Singapore, China, Singapore, the UAE, Vietnam, and Yemen have invasive surveillance policies.

It is therefore nothing short of shocking to notice that almost every feature implemented by dictatorial regimes now exists in the U.S. We usually think of authoritarian regimes rising after a bloody military coup.
