One of
the biggest differences between a dictatorship and a democracy is that in a dictatorship it's
only really possible to change the government by force. Because the people have no say in how
they're governed in a dictatorship, there's no outlet for their dissatisfaction in the
government and its policies. People can't openly speak out or protest against what the
government's doing so the only way it can exercise any influence on the government is by getting
rid of it completely. And the only way that this can be achieved is through some kind of violent
uprising.
In a dictatorship, no less than in a democracy, large numbers of
people can feel that their country is headed in the wrong direction. The differenceand it's a
very big differenceis how the people are able to express their dissatisfaction. In a democracy,
they do it through voting, campaigning, and protesting; in a dictatorship, by taking to the
barricades.
