Dictator's of Darkness

In a dictatorship, a single individual or a small group exercises unchecked authority, shaping laws and policies without the consent of the populace. The lack of democratic processes stifles individual freedoms, and dissent is frequently dealt with harshly. Fear becomes a tool of governance , as citizens live under the constant threat of persecution for opposing the regime. History shows that such structures of power often lead to atrocities, as leaders pursue their ambitions at the expense of human rights and dignity.
