How to Be a Dictator: The Cult of Personality in the Twentieth Century Hardcover
From the Samuel Johnson Prize-winning author of Mao's Great Famine, a sweeping and timely study of twentieth-century dictators and the development of the modern cult of personality.
No dictator can rule through fear and violence alone. Naked power can be grabbed and held temporarily, but it never suffices in the long term. In the twentieth century, as new technologies allowed leaders to place their image and voice directly into their citizens' homes, a new phenomenon appeared where dictators exploited the cult of personality to achieve the illusion of popular approval without ever having to resort to elections.
In How to Be a Dictator, Frank Dikötter examines the cults and propaganda surrounding twentieth-century dictators, from Hitler and Stalin to Mao Zedong and Kim Il Sung. These men were the founders of modern dictatorships, and they learned from each other and from history to build their regimes and maintain their public images. Their dictatorships, in turn, have influenced leaders in the twenty-first century, including Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Using a breadth of archival research and his characteristic in-depth analysis, Dikötter offers a stunning portrait of dictatorship, a guide to the cult of personality, and a map for exposing the lies dictators tell to build and maintain their regimes.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Régime de la Terreur: Instrument of governance wielded by newly
established revolutionary state
Designed to consolidate power by intimidating counterrevolutionaries,
subversives, and other dissidents whom the STATE regarded as
“enemies of the people.”
Original context; term associated with ideals of virtue and democracy
17,000 executed by the state (Guillotine)
Shares two key characteristics with the modern-day variant;
1. Not random or indiscriminate; organized, deliberate, and systematic
2. Goal: Creation of a “new and better society” in place of a fundamentally
corrupt and undemocratic political system
Robespierre

Deviant Behavior
1870
Emile Durkheim:
Anomie: A state where societal norms are confused or unclear
Perceived collapse of societal rules on how people should behave
Absence of societal norms leads one to engage in deviant behavior
Sudden, buffeting changes cause aggravated states of “Anomie”
Collapse of an adhered-to order could lead an individual to veer off the
straight and narrow path of acceptable behavior (i.e. winning the lotto)
12. Globalization
One of several factors that contribute to a state of Anomie
Rapid increase in world trade created a state of flux
1. Major consequences - Deterioration of the power of the State
2. Eroded sense of national identity through the expansion of media
3. Dissolution of traditional links of social and cultural cohesion
Industrial Revolution: Provided a rapid increase in world trade causing
goods, services, capital and people to move freely
Led to transfer of wealth, and upset and destabilized the “old order”
Created an atmosphere of anxiety, and fueled the rise of Anarchism
13. David Rapport: Four waves in evolution of terrorism
1. Anarchists (Pre - World War I)
Industrial Revolution-19th Century Globalization
2. Anti - Colonization (Post - World War I)
Self-Determination
3. New Left Wave (Post - World War II / Cold War)
Marxist/Leninist Ideology
4. Religious Wave (Desert Storm)
Information Revolution-20st Century Globalization
The 20th Century
15. Anarchist Wave
(1881-1914)
Rapid increase in world trade created a state of flux
Targeted key political and government officials, bringing about social and
political change - Revolution!
Modern technologies (telegraph & rail) - circulated news, and ideologies
faster and farther
1881: Tsar Alexander II in 1881 by Nikolai Rysakov
1894: President, Marie-François Sadi Carnot, by Sante Jeronimo Caserio
1897: Canovas del Castillo of Spain by Michele Angiolillo
1900: Umberto I of Italy, by Italo-American Gaetano Bresci
1901: President William McKinley by Leon Czolgosz.
1907: Bulgarian Premier Dimitar Nikolov Petkov
1914: Archduke Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip
17. Anti-Colonialism Wave
1920- 1960
Versailles Treaty, Treaty of Trianon and the Sykes-Picot
Accord carved up the German, Austria-Hungarian, and Ottoman empires
Groups seeking self-determination were successful in forcing colonial
powers to withdraw and allowing development of individual nations
Irish Republican Army did this with relative success, spawning
sympathizers within the United States and Great Britain
Irgun faction, and other Jewish terrorist groups relentlessly attacked their
British overseers to create an untenable position for the occupational
control of the Palestinian Mandate
War-weary British thought it best to abandon their colony and
relinquish control of the area to the United Nations.
18. UN Resolution 181
29 November 1947
Called for partition of the British-ruled Palestine Mandate into a
Jewish AND Arab state: 33 Yeah, 13 Nay, 10 abstentions and one absent
Provided Israel’s right to exist; thus providing evidence to the world that
terrorism can work for people seeking self-determination
May 14th - Israel is recognized
May 15th - Armies of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq invade,
starting Arab-Israeli War of 1948
Arab view of Israel:
Arab or a Muslim makes a judgment about the world subconsciously
through the prism of the Palestinian issue
20. Characterized by internationalization of terrorism
Marxist/Leninist ideology of “saving the workers from the humiliation
of Capitalism and exploitation from the bourgeoisie.”
Focused on the Vietnam War; also perpetrated myth that Capitalism
was bad and Communism was the ideal form of government
Attacked symbolic targets (government buildings, law enforcement,
military, banks, et al), to cause fear, demand for change, and draw
attention to their plight
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) showed how terrorists could
organize and act strategically in their attacks to harness mass media to
advocate their cause
Hijackings of commercial aircraft, kidnappings, and political
assassinations were all popular tactics among the PLO
New Left Wave
1945-1989

1979: Momentous year for relations between Democratic nations of the West
and the Muslim world
1. Overthrow of the Shah and establishment of a theocracy in Iran
2. Extremists set siege to Grand Mosque in Mecca, to “cleanse”
the holiest sites in Islam from influence of the apostate House of Saud

Active, and often clandestine support, encouragement, and
assistance provided by a foreign government to a terrorist groups
~ Hoffman
States often engage in efforts, motivated by Realism or Idealism, to
influence, affect, or undermine the policies of other states
Advantage: Allows sponsor to retain a level of deniability in regards to
the violence it has caused
DOD: Irregular warfare = “A violent struggle among state and non-state
actors for legitimacy and influence over the relevant population(s).”
Is it wrong to sponsor a proxy war inside another state?
State Sponsored Terrorism
27. 27
Strong supporters: Provide logistical, intelligence, military & financial support
Iran’s support of Lebanese Hezbollah
Weak supporters: Willing/committed, but often unable to offer many resources
Taliban’s backing for al-Qaeda
Lukewarm supporters: Favor terrorists, little to support with State resources
Iran support for Shia terrorists groups throughout the Gulf states
Antagonistic supporters: Control and weaken a group for benefit of the state
Syria’s with Fatah, and other Palestinian terrorist organizations
Passive supporters: State turns a blind-eye to its activities
United States inaction against the Provisional IRA
Unwilling hosts: Regime lacking resources to resist terrorist threat in their land
Lebanese government in the 1970’s with the PLO
State Sponsored Terrorism
29. Questions?
“Society is willing to suffer terrorism as long as it remains a nuisance.” When
insecurity begins to spread and terrorism becomes a genuine danger, people
no longer denounce the government for ignoring human rights in order to
fight it…1993- 2001 then 9/11!

GENESIS OF MODERN TERRORISM
Destruction of the status quo brings about change, instability, chaos and a vacuum of power which will be filled.
Terrorism first used in during the French revolution however in the 19th century it was anarchism.
Destruction of the Ottoman Empire (e.g. Old Order), dissolution of the Caliph, and creation of spheres of influence for the British and French and creation of the British mandate of Palestine.
After WWII Britain transferred Palestinian problem to the UN.
