To the understanding of many on NSG, a nation that is not a western liberal democracy is a dictatorship.

Seven seats. The Worker's Party won the Punggol East constituency in a by-election. So, that plus Hougang SMC and the Aljunied GRC (5 seats) gives them seven seats as of now.

Oh, OK.

The Cuban economy was doing okay, and Castro ruined it. He is more of a tyrant than Batista could have dreamed of. Fuck Castro.

How is the only free country in the Middle East a dictatorship?

I have no time for such nonsense.

So because the economy has changed he's worse? Is that seriously what you're basing your argument off of?

EDIT: Also, tell us of these other methods of ending the authoritarian rule?

Belgium, Britain, and the United States have each utilized a myriad of ways to transition from authoritarian to more liberal structures and expressions of rule. In Belgium this was accomplished by tying the monarch to the people rather than to the territory. In Britain, devolution. In the United States, party exchange and the empowerment of the Supreme Court (which is about as undemocratic as you can get in a republic) and tying that Court to the Constitution - the law of the territory considered.

There are alternatives to bloody revolution.

Hold on, you do realize that at least two of your examples were only possible as a result of a bloody revolution, right?

Uzbekistan
Nepal
Iran
Eritrea
China
Iraq
Myanmar
Fiji (so far no violence against the people is yet documented)
Sudan
Turkmenistan
Russia
Belarus
Zimbabwe

I need more opinions on which dictatorships of the world should be invaded by NATO Forces or the World Powers. Should there be foreign help? Should other governments arm the oppressed?

Prtty sure Iraq and Iran, just as Russia and China are not dictatorships

You are aware that I'm not talking about wars for secession. Those are, sometimes, necessary battles. But revolution to "topple" a dictator? No. They are not necessary.

Ever hear of the English Civil War? It pretty much crippled Royal power forever. And the US was only able to rid itself of Slavery by fighting a massive Civil War for it.

This is a good indication of which countries are dictatorial.

Every country that is in the ''Autoritair regime'' (Authoritarian regime) category is a dictatorship, according to this index.
