- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- It’s easy to feel futile when a tyrannical overlord is controlling your life. Maybe you’re some lowly, mediaeval peasant toiling in fields for an aristocrat, or maybe you’re stuck in a corporate dead-end job working for manipulative executives or maybe you’re one of the truly unfortunate people stuck living under a dictator who is as horrible and evil as can be. However your tyrant manifests, please don’t despair. History has shown us how to speed up the end of their reign. Be warned, your mileage will vary because not all dictatorships are equal. Just know that if you play your cards right you can topple that regime sooner than you think.
It’s time to learn How History Works as we explain “How to Overthrow a Dictator”.

Step 1: Get rid of tyrant.
Step 2: Appoint new leader.
Step 3: New leader becomes the new tyrant.
Step 4: Go back to Step 1.
It happened to my country several times people are so tired that they don't care who becomes as long as he is not worse than previous one. My country Kyrgyzstan. Our neighbours are more lucky because they had less revolutions and have strategic planning and resources. Their economy are much better
If you inject the right checks and balances somewhere around 2 you might be able to put 3 off for a few hundred years
Step 3 get invaded by the USA and have a non dictator hopefully installed.
Everyone are equal but some are more equal that others
Sir Do you mean Democracy
Pro tip: if the dictator offers you to dinner to hash things out, it's a trap. It's always a trap. See the Banquet of Blood (750CE)
It’s just social darwinsm at this point.
I suggest... Be a trap yourself?
2) expect people to do nothing, even if they are certain of tyranny. If you go to that dinner expecting to be harmed so you tell your friends you are going and may be harmed and you do end up dead, you can’t expect them to do anything about it, nor should you because they simply won’t.
Never negotiate with a dictator. They love have negotiations, they put the table in front of the international community. Same think with elections, they want the oposition running

Step 1:

Actually, you can sabotage a regime by sabotaging your workplace. In occupied France not all resistants were fighters, ordinary people could still cripple the nazi by being purposefully bad at their jobs. Things like applying bureaucratic procedures to the letter thus slowing whole pans of the administration, making small mistakes on a regular basis, withholding informations or relaying them late, incomplete or with some errors, etc. The MI6 actually printed a booklet with some guidelines, iirc Lindybeige has made a video about it.

When I worked at a gas-station I gave away probably a thousand dollars worth of free fountain pops, that were a buck or less. Im a commie. Fuck capitalism, and fuck that corp.

No, I think that was just the French being French.
@@JohnTrustworthyweird to see you here, are trying to learn from your past mistakes?
If someone calls you a traiter you can always just say, "Of course they did. They never liked me. They've always been my enemy since we were kids."
Then you can begin your revenge scheme of framing them for being a traitor.
Didn't work with the NKVD.
"Oh, so he is a traitor too? Good."
No secret police or intelligence agency operates on the word of one informant. Often times multiple informants or spies will infiltrate an organization, without knowledge of each other, and their stories will be coallated for confirmation.
7:50 you must not forget that afterwards, in preparation for D-Day, Germany found an actual soldier's body with actual D-Day documents that outlined where the allies would have landed, but the Germans remembered what happened in Sicily and declared it as a bluff and didn't take it into account.
You included the removal of bad management as part of your title, but never connected the more national(more violent) forms of revolution with those that take place in the workplace which are (usually) less violent.
If you had have explored and showed connections between national revolutions and their workplace counterparts it would have made your video more likely to interest the portion of your viewers who clicked due to the second part of your title.
Other than that great video.
I might add that most revolutions depend on timing and outside pressures. If a dictator (or unpleasant manager) plays his/her cards right and doesn't make any large mistakes it is nearly impossible for the citizens to depose them.
In most revolutions it is the security forces that allow, or help, the dictator to be removed from power. The same applies to removing managers, it is usually the company and its HR department(and higher management) that either backs the manager or allows them to be sabotaged and quietly moved to another department.
Thank you, you saved me from whatching this video at all. I don't appreciate fraudolent clickbaits.
It wasn't very explicit. But the build resistance sabotage and making jokes points are easy to translate without having to do much independent thinking.

Instructions unclear, my management have been guillotined and the 5th republic has begun
@@lachychops2 Instruction unclear, should I call off the assassination or not?
You got your facts wrong.... Olbreicht didn't place the bomb, Stafenburg did
Correct. But the spelling is "von Stauffenberg". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_von_Stauffenberg
I thought he was the east German leader. Ulbrei..... Can't spell
That’s right it was Stauffenberg and the assassin’s were not executed by firing squad, they were hung with piano wire.
@@fightsports66piano wire?
@@xenoxtrollik4150 yes, it is not a quick death like being hung with a rope which is faster. This is a slow and painful method. They say it was filmed so that Hitler could watch it.
A "sequel" could be interesting. That is, "How to Avoid Turning a Revolution into a Dictatorship", or something similar.
Absolutely neccesary, i believe.
Aggressive gatekeeping.
Remove extremists promptly.
Find the common ground that everyone can agree with.
And CONSTANTLY remind everyone why you started this in the first place and what that common ground is.
Also, "how to overthrow a democracy and make dictatorship"
@@chaz706 harder when a big reason the revolution succeeded was no gatekeeping, and the unifying desire of the populace and coherent groups that took part was just the desire to remove the ruler (see the Iranian revolution against the shah, where there were progressives that lost out). Also much harder when you aren't the biggest of said coherent groups. Like if you're in a position to gatekeep and expel people then you're already most of the way to victory. Imo if you're the biggest faction at the top level then the biggest priority isn't removing those you'll eventually remove anyways from government, it's winning hearts and minds so they can't Revolution 2.0 you with their support base.
the whole thread in terms of topics would imo be better be covered in a single "how to come out on top in post-revolution factional politics" bit, which would be interesting.
Another nice sequel is "How to shoot your way out of a regime?"
At the 4:07 timestamp, the video states that Friedrich Olbricht placed the bomb near Hitler, but it was actually Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg; also, Heinz Brandt, the one who moved the bomb, was a colonel on the day of the assassination attempt. Hitler promoted Brandt to general the next day. The lesson of the video still applies, though; Hitler had Stauffenberg, Olbricht and many others executed.
Well, the bomb was not really moved away, just replaced to a bad spot, behind the base of the desk. Also the meeting on this day was rescheduled to a wooden barrack, instead of a concrete bunker. If the same bomb would have exploded in the bunker, no one would have survived. Also Stauffenberg used only one package of explosive, instead of two, out of haste. Then Operation Walkuere was delayed until Stauffenberg made his way back to Berlin. They did not succeed to gain control over the Rundfunk, so Hitler could give a speech later that day. A lot of bad luck in fact, but the plan was ingenious, namely using the forces of your enemy and the command structure of the Wehrmacht to your own advantage.
@@scepticalchymist The bomb wasn't moved away, they just moved it away to another place

@@vascofernandes295 If the political system changes, fresh economic ideas can enter the field, allowing for change without radical effort.
I suspect the only way is to replace the quality of human beings that make up the parties and their officials with better quality human beings. More integrity, more commitment to integrity, more drive, more sense of urgency, and the needed well educated background knowledge free of superstitions and misinformation.
If running third party isn't viable given the current structure of the system then changeing the quality of the population itself is all you have.

This is truly brilliant! I love a lot of the videos you make, and this one raises to the top. The facts peppered with sarcasm and true humor are pure gold! Great work!
The only issue is that dictators (one man supreme rulers) are very rare and for most of occasions, tyranny in history is done by some few people backstage (if you know history, the king/supreme rulers and his staff/nobles/courts had always been in conflict and if they do get together you get the aristocratic bureaucrats.)
The bureaucracy of the regime is the most dangerous enemy.
they are not very rare, of course tyrants need a power base (be it the military, secret police or the people), but the base itself can be scared and going along with the tyrant for whatever reason
@@jakovvodanovic9165 tho yes they aren't but ahem, "one man supreme rule power."
Next video idea: how to stage a counterrevolution
Step 1: do war crimes
Step 2: repeat step one
Step 3: when revolution wins anyway, write lotsa books about their war crimes and tyranny
(Srsly, if reds in 1917 didn't revolt, all these millions would forcibly die anyway)
In case u miss Step 1, go straight for Step 3 and Step 4
Step 3: Commit warcrimes (in bigger scale)
Step 4: Repeat step 3 like 150-200 times and then go back to Step 1
(this is for maximum sucess, u can commit up to 300 but that will take a long Time)
A certain Austrian Corporal survived several assaination attempts.
Rumor has it he snuck into his own headquarters out smarting his guards and successfully assassinated himself.
I heard they didn't want to kill him because they were afraid of someone more competent taking over after him.
An Austrian Corporal who wanted to be a painter but got rejected from art school?
If you look for a list of all the assassination attempts on Hitler (even before he came to power), it is crazy how many times the failed art school applicant narrowly escaped death.
Step 1 : Discover oil.
Step 2 : Discover freedom.

As a Venezuelan we joked a lot about our dictators (Maduro and previously Chavez) and they allowed it to some extent.
More often than not, the jokes are related to imitate their speech paterns to say something stupid, and with Maduro specifically, we mocked him for being apparently dumb
On the long run several comedians had to flee the country and even a movie narrating their censorship as a comedy group, a movie called "Fuera del aire" was censored and the group working on it had to flee.
The other issue is that some jokes may cause you to underestimate your opponent, the dictator.
Very interesting. I appreciate you sharing this.

Well, a joke shows smarts, if you manage to ridicule a dictator, without being executed, you will make them the dumb side, art is a similar tool, because if the piece is good, unless you destroy any trace of it, which is very hard on the information age, its message is basically unstoppable.

Fun Fact: none of gaddaffis citicens wanted him gone. Because he was a good leader.

An interesting example of comedy was in Kenya. I unfortunately forgot the name of the dictator but they had a long term autocrat in power. In the 1990s there was comedy cartoon sketch in a news paper/magazine and it mocked the presidents actions. Subtle at first then bolder and bolder. Once showing a cartoon of the president winning a foot race when everyone else had clearly been sabotaged (he had just fixed the election). But they were never punished, why? Because the president found them funny. The president was forced to liberalise over time (though slowly) and eventually retired from office. Some feel it's because the comedy made him less scary, they felt more bold to speak out while also giving a way for them to criticise him. Although some could argue it helped keep the president in power as he showed a sense of humour that made him more in touch with people.

Can you make a tutorial on how to overthrow a government? (Asking for a friend)
The only thing that can overthrow a government is another government. So just start by creating one. But be prepared to the fact that this way can make you succed much faster than you think so it will instantly mark you as high priority enemy of the state so you will most likely have to sacrifice your life among many other things just to have a chance of seeing it through. Stakes in the game are higher than anywhere so be firm in sticking to your goals and be prepared to give up on everything and everyone you have for the sake of achieving it.

Gaddafi & Tito may have been dictators but they weren't tyrants.
Gaddafi killed and tortured all dissidents without a fair and neutral trial. He replaced most if not all of the Judicial branch of government with his cronies. Threatened and harassed political opposition and stamped out all opposing viewpoints and criticisms with an iron fist. Gaddafi was a tyrant.
Josef broz tito was the same but he created and propagated the current political corruption and system that plagues his former country/s today and exasperated cultural and ethnic divides that caused the country to fracture and dissolve. He used state sponsored torture and kidnappings to all political dissent and opposing viewpoints he used state power to enrich himself and his party members exclusively and got the support from many other tyrants and dictators around the world.
Both were dictators and tyrants.
