Keep kalm and obey. It's what people have done since centuries back, since a king was back then also the only authority.

How an authoritarian political system can survive from the Fourth Estate (the press)?

[saddampbuh]

by demonstrating loyalty to your country and leader obviously

[deadsilent]

Why bother about this kind of ruling? Just be normal. Just obey and follow the rules. They dont implement rules that can harm you. Dont do things that against the law so you wont get diciplined by the government. If you dont like dictatorial leadership. Then feel free to leave your country.

[BADecker]

Become the government, with an ironclad way out in case there is total rebellion.

[merchantofzeny]

Just keep a low profile. Hmm, I dunno, maybe unleash your inner Littlefinger?

But seriously, try to stay "basic" and not attract any attention to yourself. Of course this is assuming you are already in a dictatorship. If not but it appears imminent, then get the hell out of there. If you're rich then liquidate your assets first and then exchange them for BT if you can (might be hard to move money out once the gov't starts its purge).

The more pressing question is how can the "free" press survive authoritarianism.

Pretty much. Do what you're told, don't speak against the government and just keep the low profile at all.

Are you a Nigerian? If yes, before answering your question I have to tell you a few things:

Since the arrival of many Nigerians in my country, the barbaric crime has increased. The war of the rich Muslim families has intensified and is becoming increasingly bloody, but the Nigerians are the ones who carry out the crimes.

Disrespect the dead: Many Nigerians are constantly digging up the graves of the dead because they want to remove the bones of the dead to do witchcraft

Scammers: Many Nigerians who are in my country are always posting articles in the newspapers promising things that are impossible at the moment, they promise that they can cure HIV, that they can increase 12 centimeters of the penis in 1 days and so many absurd things.

Business: Many Nigerians mistreat Mozambicans, even though they know they are in our country and exploit our mineral resources illegally, gold, and tourmaline, are monopolized by Nigerians who mistreat Mocambicans in these mines.

I do not want to do xenophobia, I just think if you are suffering in your country, you should learn to be kind to the countries that welcome you!



What you should do?
 
 change the minds of the majority of the population, but this will be difficult... because in Africa, the political party that freed us from colonialism, make brainwashed their own people.

You know, I walk with bodyguard because my father is a high-ranking general of the army, and very recently he was in the war zones and it was sad what he counted and showed.

3 weeks ago, 2 thieves broke into my house and stole a laptop and a S6 phone from my sister. The thieves probably must have thought the laptop and cell phone were my dad's.

You should be aware that this is not a joke. If you're a child, you'd better not do anything. Because anything you do will affect you and your family.

First you have to list your priorities

If you want to survive by being a pussy, you need to follow your "leader"

However, if you're not a giant pussy, you will join or form a resistance organization and fight with the guerrilas in order to overthrow the opressors for the freedom and well-being of everyone else, so they and you are able to survive 

Or, if you're able to, immigrate to a free country and spread news about the oppresion

Oh yeah, immigrate if you don't have your shit together, you are all welcome in our developed countries, even without education, we take everyone in, even if there are no political conflicts in your country, come to europe for free money and housing...

I could understand you want to migrate to a free country, but man if everyone does that, how free is the free country, think about that for a second. However i do believe real asylum seekers should be allowed, eg Syria... but i also see alot of immigrants from safe countries, for example morroco, purely coming here for the money. I think that is really wrong and shouldn't be allowed.

I do not see how this is related, if we're talking about dictatorships, I see no reason how Morrocans have anything to do with it 

Ofcourse these "immigrants" shouldn't be allowed to immigrate, but they should be armed and sent back to fight their dictator

Also that is harmful for us, but as he said, how do you survive
One of the solutions is escape to a free country

One of survival instincts is also theft, of course it's wrong, and bad for us, but for them?
It is one of the scarce opportunities to survive

In a authoritarian political system you have only 2 choices.
To obey or to fight.
If you obey government, you will be fine but live in misery.
If you fight, you will risk your own life but will help to change political system and create better future for your children.
I think that fight for higher purpose is more worth than just be scared all the life, and hide somewhere.

[Sithara007]

Or better you could stay away from politics altogether. This is the safer option, because if another coup happens and the current dictator is replaced by his rival, then you'll be in trouble.

[audaciousbeing]

The only way to fight is simply to seek an asylum somewhere else in another country that promote your ideals then fight from there and that's how to survive and for those who can't afford to travel out, and have no where to go, just hold tight and pray a savior will show up because aside that, nothing else is really going to happen.

If you mean to survive, it is best to be like them or live and work in other countries, don't most criticized the government, only parliament can change the system state. and it takes time and huge demonstrations, if necessary, overthrow his regime. There are many people who are not fortunate to be born and live in non-democratic countries.

[Sithara007]

I don't think that the people living in democratic nations are any more fortunate than those living in the authoritarian states. For example, India is a democracy, but the living standards are horrible. Compare that to China, which is an authoritarian country, but the living standards are much better than that in India.

Indian society is free to speak his rights in any field including businesses, they are better than dictatorships. India concerned with aspects of quality than quantity, so government policies affect average economic development.

China is not a democracy, but the government focus to widen people's economy as a whole, they are freeing people to emulate any existing famous brands in the world without any sanction. They believe their economy will spin without the help of foreign countries.

In economic theory, if there is freedom that is fully supported by the government, the country market will grow rapidly, but very wild and many legal cases will appear.

[Sithara007]

This statement is laughable. The only resource which India is having, is quantity (i.e manpower / cheap labor). The population is still increasing by some 25 million per year (which is more than half of the world population growth). The quality of life just does not exist. What sort of quality exists in a country where half the population defecate in the open?

Start putting masking tape on your mouth and relocate into a remote island far from the reach of the government but still within the country you are in. Just make sure you have an internet connection so you can still be updated with Bitcoin news.

If you are living under a dictatorship even if you move to a remote island you will still be monitored and the possibilities for going to jail are very much high for any suspicious activity .
