Nam was actually helping. He had long been in support of increasing contact with the West and modernizing the agricultural systems. Why do you think he was killed?

If they were more prudent in foreign policies NS Germany and Fascist Italy might still exist today.


again, the keyword is highlighted.

both of the states you mentioned are totalitarian.

totalitarian states rely on propaganda and absolutes for stability.

doubting a totalitarian state's future makes it unstable.

If a totalitarian state becomes unstable, it *will* fall.

TL;DR - both of those states would fall even if they were perfect on foreign policies, even you are doubting their future.

Furthermore Party-States can be stable. National Socialist Germany, the Soviet Union, Mexico under one-party rule and Fascist Italy were all pretty stable.


None of them were stable; the USSR and Fascist Italy succumbed to political revolutions in short time. Hitler assigned his subordinates to conflicting and overlapping positions to intentionally keep the state unstable and prevent his overthrow.

When your legitimacy is derived from the whims of the people and subjective sentimentality your party will inevitably fall from power.

it is counterproductive if u wanna sustain a EMPIRE

why da fuk r ppl gonna surrender and obey to u if ur gonna end up KILLING them all

REAL dictatorships that last for long long time kno how to stay in power by taking care of their supporters who r essential for da leader's power. this typically r da army, police, priests etc etc

ex: the czar of russia fell becus he reduced alcohol tax thus not having enough money to pay his guards. so when da protestors came in da guards gave up cus they weren't being paid enough

north korea will survive as long as kim jong un can provide da comforts to the elites who make his regime possible. in this case it da generals who lead north korean army. let not forget da cult of personality play a big role in keeping ur power
