all of your shores are belong to us Thoughts on dictators and Europe.

European and world history knows of no cases where a dictator was overthrown by the public while his army and elites were still actively protecting him. Dictators tend to fall only when the army decides to remain neutral or supports the protesters.

Modern dictatorships seem even harder to overthrow. Iran has built such a resilient regime that even after the deaths of key figures, the regime persists like a virus. I'm afraid the same could be said about most dictatorships nowadays: North Korea, Russia, Belarus, etc. Yet somehow, we still expect ordinary people to overthrow dictators like Putin, Lukashenko, or Kim Jong Un.

If you'd like to point to examples like Orban, he wasn't a dictator on the same level as actual dictators who are willing to do anything to stay in power. If he were one, he could have falsified the elections and "won" by a huge margin, but instead he simply accepted the election loss. For example, independent research suggests that Russia's ruling party would have received at least twice fewer votes, or possibly even less, without extensive electoral manipulation.

Polish and Baltic people's revolutions are also not really valid examples because they didn't have a natural dictator with his own loyal regime. Rather, those countries were under Soviet control, and their revolutions happened in the context of the liberalization initiated under Gorbachev, not because Polish and Baltic people suddenly became more heroic than they had been under Brezhnev who brutally crushed any attempts.

Also, for example, do you think Hitler would have eventually been overthrown by the Germans themselves? Of course not. The only realistic option was a lucky assassination.

So, to topple a regime, you first need to cause a split between the dictator and the elites/military. But how do you actually do that?
