Tyrannical Minds: Psychological Profiling, Narcissism, and Dictatorship - Dean Allen Haycock
Shared by:cryotag
Not everyone can become a tyrant. It requires a particular confluence of events to gain absolute control over entire nations.
First, you must be born with the potential to develop brutal personality traits. Often, these are combined in “The Dark Triad” of malignant narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy, as well as elements of paranoia, and an extraordinary ambition to achieve control over others.
Second, your predisposition to antisocial behavior must be developed and strengthened during childhood. You might suffer physical and/or psychological abuse, or grow up in trying times.
Finally, you must come of age when the political system of your country is unstable. Together, these events establish a basis for a rise to power, one that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Saddam Hussein, and Muammar Qaddafi all used to gain life-and-death control over their countrymen and women. It is how Osama bin Laden and the leaders of the Islamic State hoped to gain such power.
Though these men lived in different times and places, and came from vastly different backgrounds, many of them felt respect for each other. They often seemed to recognize their shared, “dark” personality traits and viewed them as strengths. Only in rare cases did they show signs of mental disorders.
“Getting inside the heads” of foreign leaders and terrorists is one way governments try to understand, predict, and influence their actions. Psychological profiles can help us understand the urges of tyrants to dominate, subjugate, torture and slaughter.
Tyrannical Minds reveals how recognizing their psychological traits can provide insight into the motivations and actions of dangerous leaders, potentially allow to us predict their behavior?and even how to stop them. As strongmen and authoritarian leaders around the world increase in number, understanding the most extreme examples of tyrannical behavior should serve as a warning to anyone indifferent to the threats posed by political extremism.

Thanks, even if the premise is more than a tad lacking in nuance. The examples mentioned are all foreign,and seem to have arisen without any help from Western governments.And of course, one they’re gone, as in the case of Gaddafi, their countries thrive and all the killing stops.

re the role of Western governments - I agree - and often the tyrant rises because of legitimate social and international concerns amongst a desperate population.
The list seems pretty fair, though: one from central Asia, one from North Africa, one from ‘the west’ in Europe, one from ‘the far east’, one from the Middle East.
The author’s premise may be that certain factors unite them … always.

Following the fall of the tyrannical Qaddafi, all the murders & repression did not stop; nor did the country thrive. Unless the prosperity of the slave business is being alluded to here. The IOM (International Organization for Migration) confirmed that slave markets had returned to Libya after being inactive for a century.
Moreover, Germany is solidly part of the west; even Russia has its most populated regions within Europe.
Mao, Stalin & Hitler are indeed the worst examples in terms of numbers of murdered & enslaved human beings. However, systematic genocidal ideology is never merely dependent upon one person; in order to function effectively, it requires the active, enthusiastic participation of an ideologically-driven, bureaucratic array of willing murderers.
The assertion that ideological murders stop once a single individual is gone is so absurd as to subvert the meaning of language itself. Following the death of Mao, the Chinese Communist Party continued to prosecute untold numbers of murders. The most prominent examples being the Tiananmen Square massacre, and the genocide of the Uighur people. This, in combination with all of the “disappeared,” concentration camp detentions, human rights abuses, industrial levels of systemic torture, forced labour, forced abortions, sterilisation, sexual abuse/rape & state slavery. This is what extreme ideology looks like, as we know.
