Most dictators use a combination of the same techniques employed by rulers since the beginning of civilization. This can be summed up as populism and brutality. The dictators establish themselves as ultra-nationalist and jingoistic, supposedly championing their people. Many seemingly benevolent, or charitable, or religious programs are designed to win approval from the uneducated populace. (These require only a small portion of the vast sums of personal wealth that are accumulated at the expense of the nation.) At the same time, political rivals or opposing factions are ruthlessly suppressed by intimidation, imprisonment, torture, and murder.
These types of actions occur in most governments to some degree, but they are essential for strongmen or juntas who need absolute control of a state.
