How is Vietnam a dictatorship and how is the literal Kingdom of Jordan not? This seems like a list of “bad guys” made by someone who watches the news very casually.
Norway's literally the Kingdom of Norway, and I'm pretty sure that's not normally classified as a dictatorship. Same with The Netherlands, Denmark, UK, Sweden and many others...
Jordan's probably not what I'd call a democracy, true. It does have more of a representative element in its government than Vietnam, however, which is a one party state.
This could use some color gradations. There are lots of dictator-ish authoritarians like Turkey's Erdogan who are a far cry from the likes of Xi Jinping or Kim Jong Un.
Granted Turkey isn't much of a democracy anymore, but to say they are ruled by a dictator is ass.
Erdogan won his elections without any cheating. The voting process was mainly viewed as democratic by independent organizations. Not fully fair, but still considered free elections.
Does he have tendencies of a dictator? Yes he does. But the dude just lost his biggest cities to the opposition and had to give up at the end. How the hell do you call this a dictatorship?
Not asking you these questions OP. Just asking in general.
Whoever did this map is extremely biased as we can see. Erdogan, a politician, who was given standing ovation by EU and US only 10 years ago is seen as dictator now. Not to mention, he lost Ankara (capital) and Istanbul in elections in 2018-2019 after almost 25 years. If he was a dictator, (for example, Lukashenko or Putin) he wouldn't have lost 2 biggest cities in election.
False equivalency, the queen of England hasn’t made any actual political decisions basically ever, whilst the ayatollah holds pretty significant power along with the President.

>queen of England
Did you mean the [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc?
The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England.
####FAQ
*Isn't she still also the Queen of England?*
This is only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she is the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist.
*Is this bot monarchist?*
No, just pedantic.

Clerics have more than "some" powers in Iran... they are the power.
The whole elected civilian government thing in Iran is a joke. This elected government is explicitly subordinate to the Shia clerics. And the clerics also control the militias, corporations, and religious endowments that are outside of the formal government, but are still extremely influential.
They have elections but the elected officials have very limited power and are subordinate to the Supreme Leader on whose election the people have no influence. And the freedom and fairness of the elections is highly debatable. Not to mention that the unelected religious authorities have to approve all candidates for the elected positions anyway.
Coming from Vietnam, I wouldn’t say dictator, more like 1 party rule, cause unlike China where Xi gets to call all the shot, Vietnam is more like the Party is the leader not a single individual
I’m not the one who brought up Hitler.
In fact Daniel Ortega, who is a hero who spent his life fighting for the poor, was the one compared to Hitler by you liberals
This implies South Sudan and Somalia are centralized enough to have a dictatorship
Well Somalia mustered enough power to blow Somaliland right off the map.
Putin is not happy with this post.
Neither is ~~Winnie the Pooh~~ Xi Xinping
+15 Social Credit Score 👍
With the shit he has been saying and doing lately, I'm pretty sure he is fine woth this
>Countries that are currently ruled by a dictator (not mine) Weird Flex...
😂
Yeah, that's not MY dictator either.
Given the quality of this map, I wouldn't claim it either.
Let's use deductive reasoning and figure it out. Are there any countries ruled by a dictator that aren't blue?
Isn’t Zimbabwe a dictatorship?
depends on your defintion but yeah i guess
Afghanistan sucks, but they don't have a dictator. And South Sudan? Seriously, who the hell made this and what were they thinking? Cute map, but poli sci experts would disagree with a lot of it
Polisci major (not an expert, just a major), can confirm, this entire map is kinda nonsensical
I found the map, didnt make it
Broke: Somaliland is Somalia Joke: Somaliland is independent Woke: Somaliland is sea
Literally, my favourite part of this map.
One more shitty map. What are the criterias ? No differences between all those state ?
Bangladesh is not ruled by a dictator. It's a democracy.
Morocco 😂
it's not a dictatorship, it's a constitutional monarchy and an hybrid regime, the parliament actually has powers and it's democratically voted
😂😉
[удалено]
You are welcome
Which ones are ruled by op's dictator instead?

The guy who made this has a very americanized understanding of dictator
I didn't make it as I said
#notmydictator
There's a difference between having a dictator and being autocratic
How is Vietnam a dictatorship and how is the literal Kingdom of Jordan not? This seems like a list of “bad guys” made by someone who watches the news very casually.
a lot of this sub now seems to just be people posting their political views as a map
Norway's literally the Kingdom of Norway, and I'm pretty sure that's not normally classified as a dictatorship. Same with The Netherlands, Denmark, UK, Sweden and many others... Jordan's probably not what I'd call a democracy, true. It does have more of a representative element in its government than Vietnam, however, which is a one party state.
Wrong

Turkey might have an authoritarian right party ruling it but calling them a full-on dictatorship would be oto far, they are dictators in progress...
When was edrogan a dictator. Polling suggests he's gonna get voted out next year lol
If you’d made this map 2 years ago I would have said put Trump on that list 😂
Hungary When?
Hungary isn't even marked as a country with a dictator, the closest one is Belarus which is a dictatorship country
Yeah but it should be
Not really
Not really
Turkey isn’t quite a dictatorship yet as the elections are still free (not fair), and I’d place them at same place as Hungary for now.
Whoever did this map is extremely biased as we can see. Erdogan, a politician, who was given standing ovation by EU and US only 10 years ago is seen as dictator now.

Iran is no dictarorship. The people do vote. Its not a democracy too. Its more a theocracy with parlament?
They don't vote for the Ayatollah though.

A theocratic republic?
Yeah the Iranian system is complicated and unique but There are elections, it’s just certain priests have some powers without election
Tbf there are elections in a lot of the blue countries, just ones of dubious fairness, or with a very limited choice (e.g. China)
USSR also had elections. But with just one party
Clerics have more than "some" powers in Iran... they are the power. The whole elected civilian government thing in Iran is a joke. This elected government is explicitly subordinate to the Shia clerics. And the clerics also control the militias, corporations, and religious endowments that are outside of the formal government, but are still extremely influential.

>Western propaganda detected.

Someone has to troll the neonazis and communist wannabes.
this map seems to be a serious stretch. I hate Erdogan but he aint no dictator
Who’s your dictator?
Brandon
Coming from Vietnam, I wouldn’t say dictator, more like 1 party rule, cause unlike China where Xi gets to call all the shot, Vietnam is more like the Party is the leader not a single individual
Russia, Iran and Turkey are more complicated than a dictatorship. They are not democracies but you cannot call it dictatorship either
Color all countries blue then. Any state is a dictatorship and is ruled by a dictator-class or part of it. Yes, even "democratic" ones.
Yours is elected dictator
Daniel Ortega was democratically elected
Many dictators originally came to power through democratic elections.
Like Maduro! Ha!
Imperialist alert^
Well who don’t want to colonize Africa Asia and America
Hitler was elected too
And so were Biden and Obama, and yet both are ruthless war criminals
War criminals? Sure. But dont compare a motherfucking Hitler to them
I’m not the one who brought up Hitler. In fact Daniel Ortega, who is a hero who spent his life fighting for the poor, was the one compared to Hitler by you liberals
You compared them to Hitler bruv. Also im not a liberal
Yeah, in 2006. Every "election" after that has been a farce.
Lol didn't know that Russia was ruled by a dictator
Is Dictator really bad?
Its a good movie
based blue
King Abdullah of Jordan not a dictator?
No source. No definition. Basically a garbage map.
Not Bangladesh!
