Burama,

All mankind, our animal cousins, and our plant friends, all have equal propensity for crime. This is by our nature.

I encourage you to read my book DEMOCRATICA- A Lifestyle Synthesis to understand why this is so.

It is more significant to prosecute crimes against your fellow than to wonder why you or someone else commits crimes against your fellow. This is because once you figure out why you commit crimes against your fellow, you will have already committed crimes against your fellow. Your victim is not bothered with why you commit crimes against him or her. Whether or not the victim may or may not commit crimes against his or her fellow. All crimes against your fellows MUST be prosecuted first.

Haruna.

Subject: Dictatorship

Just been curious about this elusive human phenomena - Dictatorship? Why Humans 
are instinctively dictators/power lust at least many?

I haven’t come across any empirical and/or some form of quantitative study that 
help answer this question. If you know of any please let me know. However 
there’re lots of qualitative facts and/or observation that all point to human 
being is a conquering animal.

From the Old Europe to Adolf Hitler is all barbarism. Of course new Europe 
especially Western Europe has made great strides with. Asia is still so so. 
Middle East/Arabic world still mimic their past which looks more like old 
Europe. Africa has come from territorial clans to kingdoms to nation states but 
the idea of rulers and imposition of that rulers wills are still alive. In fact 
to large extent some of the ruled aid the ruler on his/her crime ridden 
enterprises. 

The question I have and need your help - Why are human being dictators?

Is it race, in our case tribes? Is it culture or livelihood or broader socio 
economics? Is it something else I haven’t even mention? Please whatever your 
take, elaborate a bit for analyses.

Please consider ‘dictator’ beyond what a president or king or queen 
does/doesn’t. Look at it in our daily interaction as people  and how one side 
want to override the other. I guess you can add intolerance! Be mindful not to 
derail out of topic.

Thanks!

Burama
