How to Deal with a Dictator

Dictators are difficult people to deal with, because you can never actually be certain about the dangers or risks of trying to deal with them. Dictators are basically leaders with a lot of power and often tend to misuse it. There are however quite a few ways to deal with a dictator and either end their power or limit it. A dictator who is quite well known was Julius Caesar. He was assassinated therefore he was stopped. However after he was assassinated, a civil war broke out. At the moment, we are dealing with dictators such as Kim Jung Un from North Korea and Bashar al-Asad from Syria. Dealing with a dictator is difficult and often solutions will have consequences. You could deal with a dictator by creating a resistance or something and then limiting their powers bit by bit or you could assassinate them. Most Dictators have different effects on people, there are people who love them such as Julius Caesar, he was loved by many and when he was killed they were outraged and a little confused. They never really thought of him as a dictator, they thought of him as more of a decision maker for them because they were fickled and they were also blinded by some of his great victories. However there are also people who hate them like Bashar al-Asad, who is currently killing his own people, no one is well stupid enough to believe that he should not be stopped. 

Some options are creating a resistance, there are always people on the 'inside' who disagree with their leader probably have enough power to get more and more people to think as they do (kind of what the conspirators did). Furthermore they can start getting outside help until the dictators are forced to surrender. However, creating a resistance might be a little too hard, so you could remove the dictators power bit by bit. A few small changes could probably make a HUGE difference. For example, Kim Jung Un is a dictator who has an army that consists of at least 1.2 million people. There could always be at least one soldier who doesn't agree with Kim Jung Un's actions and then he could get some of his friends to agree with him and so on and so on. (It is also how gossip kind of spreads when one person tells another person this and that, eventually the whole school finds out. ) And then maybe they could get enough of the military force against him which really help and then maybe he would step down from his power. Although these idea's are quite logical they won't always work. 

However a solution that's most likely never going to fail is assassination. Assassinating a person with so much power is extremely difficult. There are always consequences like when Caesar was killed it caused a civil war. However by assassinating Kim Jung Un or Bashar al-Asad could have a different outcome. Bashar al-Asad is killing his own people so he most likely doesn't have many admirers, therefore if he was killed I don't think the risks would be as high as killing Caesar, but we still don't know what would happen. Or if Kim Jung Un was assassinated, there would be a risk of the people going crazy because they have kind of been trained to all be the same. Kind of like robots and a lot of them look up to him like a father so there is quite a high risk there. Honestly the best thing to do when attempting to deal with a dictator would probably be to come up with an idea that wouldn't bring cause a lot of chaos and have a lot of consequences. If there are none then maybe move on to ideas with a little more at stake. However, whichever decision is chosen there should be a guarantee that a difference will be made.
