Most dictators have several characteristics in common. They usually rule autocracies, governments with a single self-appointed leader and no governing body to check his power. Often, dictators have totalitarian regimes, keeping their power through control of the mass media. Totalitarian dictators also use secret police and spy on the citizens of their state as well as restrict or completely remove their personal freedoms. Many of these dictators foster cults of personality, a form of hero worship in which the masses are fed propaganda declaring their leader to be flawless (and in some cases, divine or divinely appointed). Dictators are usually on a pathway from a grab on power and seek to disempower citizens in the hope that they will be dependent on the rule of the gun. A Dictatorship is a system of Governance, that we in FIJI have had to endure for more than 7 years, lets remove the dictator and invest in building a better Democracy. A vote for Bainimarama or Fiji First, is a support for Dictatorships.
