Dictatorocracy
Is Dictatorocracy the new Democracy in the world? Are we electing Dictators or Leaders into power? Leaders who are supposed to be Public servants. Leaders who turn Dictators, lying to their citizens, before getting elected into power. It is happening world wide and everyone is aware of it, but doing nothing about it. Or the majority not effected yet, don't want to do anything. Not realising Dictators will get them too, as they too are in line, maybe just far end of the line.
How do these Dictators evolve? First lie to citizens how great they will make the nation. Citizens then carried away with eloquent speeches and even showcase negative aspects of earlier governments. None of these Dictators promises, if not fulfilled is backed with legal penalisation, so they just continue with impunity. They getting toppled during their tenure is remote. To make it worse they even ruin the country from the levels it was, when they gained power.
Next step is get corruption into play and amass wealth. Look at majority of global leaders especially of developing or even developed countries. How is it that they become so rich being Public Servants? Levels of corruption differ to what levels of masses does the effect percolate? In a developed country like US, the financial melt down left many homeless. High level corruption and how many high level politicians got arrested?
Irony is besides few countries like North Korea, Dictatorship is some cases was a boon to the citizens. Example Iraq and Libya. The citizens enjoyed good quality or life, medical care and education. Yes atrocities were committed by these Dictators, but far less than the democratically elected Dictators. Then these elected Dictators even try to amend laws or constitution to be in power till they die like Vladimir Putin in Russia or in China though not a democracy, Xi Jinping ensured he got the numbers to ensure he stays in power for his number of years of his life. Even Middle East is veiled Dictatorship. Could that be the reason the women are in veils? Where foreign labor from 3rd world countries are brought in and exploited. The citizens of these countries are kept happy with freebies and it is a region that will soon implode.
Dynastic Politics is another veiled democracy for Dictators to ensure their families continue amassing wealth. Best of democracies in the world are falling apart. Main reason is appeasement politics towards a certain section of citizens, taken care off and in some cases the same citizens dumped, once these Dictators are elected to power. Then there is divisive politics of race, caste, color or religion. Which ever is the majority, they are pitted against the rest and the Dictators enjoy the fight in the arena, seated in high levels of power. The use of power to crush opponents legally, is using political machinery to prove illegality of tax evasion or illegal wealth of opponents. These opponents then just jump ship and join the Dictator party out of fear. The easiest is to buy opponents off like prostitutes so the Dictators can enjoy screwing the economy and wealth and ruin the nation.
There is a silver lining to the dark clouds loomimg globally. The best awakening is the world standing in unity for Palestine against the atrocities done by Israel. Ugly face of American Dictatorship was in the open, where anyone speaking against Israel were taken to task, especially students. This is the freedom of speech in America. So imagine the level atrocities in other democracies of developing nations. Yes Palestine is a terrorist state harboring a terrorist group, Hamas. Does that mean, Israelites can claim right to their land and homes, because it is stated in a Holy Book as the land was given to them as the promised land, by God? So a stronger terrorist took over a weaker one, and that is projected as democratic and even holy?
The worst and evil democracy is a capitalist democracy. Where the rich are incentivised with loop holes to.pay less taxes and even not pay back loans. At the same time a common citizen can lose his home and his shirt, if he does not pay back his loan. These capitalist and lobbyists of industrialists then fund these elected leaders to stay in power, who end up as Dictators. They then help the capitalists with laws to crush the common citizens with low wages, job cuts and long working hours. Imagine a gun lobby that cannot be controlled in USA, which is killing innoncent kids in schools and common citizens, by some crazy men with a gun in their hands, going berserk.
These dictators will soon end up as terrorists, like Isreal, leading democracy to terrorocracy. This too will be shown as legal, moral and right by world bureaucratic bodies like UN, IMF, Security Council, etc. Even religion mixed with democracy citing reiligious texts proving their God had promised them the land, and proving it legally from a Holy Book? Or proving that there were their religious structures that existed in that land? Holy Moly, even God can't dictate these Dictators.

Democracy is just a non-violent method of establishing might over right while dictatorships may become violent. That apart, both support might over right. We haven't yet evolved to consider mechanisms which guarantee that right prevails over might, stuck as we are in thinking that democracies will do just that. But as you note, democracies don't guarantee that at all.

I agree with the author of this article - Mr. Sunny Fernandes (except for the Palestine part.) I was amazed by Sunny's accurate description of the process of making of a Dictator. Copy- paste it to our Indian politics and we get the Chowkidar who (by hook or by crook) has got himself installed as India's "watchman." It high time Indian citizens remove their blindfold and call off this bluff, and ensure that India's PM and all political parties strive to give us transparent & accountable governance. May God bless our Country.

Sunny a good write but I disagree with a lot of stuff especially the Palastine/Israel conflict but then I understand they its your view which remains corrected in my mind.
The other thing I totally disagree about is your clubbing all of the gulf countries while stating how they treat 3rd world citizens who explore work there. Having been there myself, I think its wrong for 2 reasons, the 1st being that nobody forcibly recruits anyone rather they go there on their free will and the 2nd is that if your not happy after you are there then you can leave. What you have stated is true but was in action many moons ago.
The dictator part is totally understood. We dint have to look behind our beautiful country to understand that. Its fair to say that out country is going to be in shot for a long time coming, what with the opposition being headed by a dynasty. Finally your mix of topics diluted the actual read on dictatorship and their rule, which by urself would have made a wonderful topic. We'll done bro for it still takes a good eye and an alert brain to seen and understand the under currents of a society.

True, Sunny.. dictatorship exists in the world in some form or the other, without exceptions, and it is only going to get worse in future
Middle East never had democracy, but corruption and crime rates are negligible. The so called democratic countries have a lot to catch up.
Keep up your bold writings..

Many different and complex thoughts expressed in your article Sunny. Let's zero in on the emerging dictatorship in India. It's the organized minority of about 35 percent which are grabbing power from the unorganized majority. Can we mobilize this majority for the 24 elections? Karnataka and Telangana have shown the way!
