Why Dictatorial Leaders Cling Onto The Throne Of Power

A capitalist model inevitably leads to crony capitalism. This crony capitalism in turn leads to chronic dictatorship, when too much power is vested in one man (or one woman, who is usually the wife or concubine of the man in power and she exercises her power in the shadows).

History is filled with such greedy dictators who never fail to make the lives of the citizens miserable and suffering, because of the continuous and persistent sucking of money, energy and resources from the masses in one form or another, in one way or another.

When the same power-greedy people or their descendants sit on the Throne of Power for too long, they, by hook or by crook, are bound to prolong their stay on Power. They will, without fail, cling unto the Throne of Power like a bull dog tenaciously biting someone's flesh and refusing to let go until it iis knocked off by force.

With such power-hungry and power-greedy dictators ruling the country, the people are bound to suffer tremendous economic hardship, torturing pains and mysterious deaths.

Most of these power-hungry and power-greedy dictators perpetuate their reign through raw and direct ruthless methods.

However, there are some who are more cunning. They manipulate the laws and the Constitution to benefit themselves, their families and their cronies, to buy loyalty and obedience, and to sustain and prolong their stay on the Seat of Power.

The longer a corrupted dictator stays in power, the more skeletons he will collect and hide in his cupboard, cabinet, closet and an enormous iron safe deep in the fortress of CompliCity, with layer after layer and ring-fence after ring-fence of complex rules and regulations to allay and dispel the notion of conflicts of interests due to the three most common, gullible and unforgivable misdeeds called CNC (Corruption, Nepotism and Cronyism) that every ruthless dictator, weak or strong, succumbed to.

The more skeletons he has, the more he is afraid to lose his power and be overthrown, because he knows fully well that the masses will go after his blood and his neck when his karma catches up with him to make him falls from grace.

As such, he keeps perpetuating this reign by putting up false flags, to give him grounds for excuses, in order to cling onto the Throne of Power.

He will keep giving the false impression that he will be stepping down soon. However, he will not give a time frame as to when he will be stepping down, making the people guessing all the time.

As the public's expectation gets stronger, he will make an anti-climax move to disappoint their expectation by giving an excuse that he has to carry on ruling in and for the interests of the country (but actually in his own interests).

In the final analysis, all dictators are corrupt to a certain degree. Some extremely and rampantly corrupt and ruthless. Some subtly and indirectly corrupt and cunning.

Don't you think so?
