As one knows, this wasn't the case in the past, or, surprisingly, even now in some countries. Normal citizens of a country or kingdom were nothing but puppets to the tyrannical autocrats.
Iraq was ruled by the infamous Saddam Hussein for twenty four years, and that man was convicted for several violations of human rights, willful killings, torture, and for his severe measures to control the population of the country.
Contrastingly, Iraq was relatively more prosperous and wealthier economically with its oil based functioning of the economy. Even the infrastructural condition saw a drastic upward movement owing to the oil revenues generated.
Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union’s most brutal revolutionary, paid for the war damages with the sacrifices of millions of his citizens, while in the process turning the country from a peasant oriented country to an industrial and military superpower.

He also indulged in an intense Cold War with the West following the end of the deadliest world war (World War II). The product of his reign made the Soviets fond enough to implement a de-stalinization process after his death.
What Kind Of Pattern Do These Show?
The idea of absolute control isn’t all gone yet. North Korea’s Kim Jung Un is framed as someone who brings terror to his people and the ones who enter the country in any unconservative way or perform any suspicious activity by their definition.
But the man has one of the strongest military forces and is considered a military superpower, although with some ongoing tensions with different countries and shaky geopolitical relationships.
Dictatorship prioritizes absolutism, extremism, control, and power within one autocratic ruler to make the major decisions, and even imperialism. A certain pattern, or rather evidence, is that all of dictatorship follows strength more than humanity. Human rights violations are not really a thing for them.
Military power, nuclear possession, and domination are basically how dictatorship works.
The US never really supported dictatorship and was always inclined toward democracy, and they were also the greatest constitutional guarantor. On the contrary, they did have their fair share of problems.
The Maoist ideology was a terrible nightmare for the Chinese. The rural industrialization, instead of benefiting the economy, only brought famines and a destabilized atmosphere, killing about 30 to 40 million people. And guess what? He was a military strategist and a revolutionary.

The Sustaining Of The Pattern
All things concerned, dictatorship countries have one thing in common, negative discipline and imposition. Most of the dictators are big time dreamers, and their hunger for power is immeasurable, leading them to resort to extreme measures to straighten the rod whenever possible.
Adolf Hitler was able to gaslight a whole ethnicity against a significant other. Persuasion is their strongest suit, and if not, force is always an option for them.
If we talk about the development and prosperity of a nation or state, it can vary a lot based on the leaders’ way of ruling and ideologies.
Modern dictators, who were from the 20th century, had no regard for human lives and only sought to improve their nation’s strength and protect themselves from any prominent threats from rival nations in war.
The sacrifice of fellow men is something they believe is necessary for the greater good of the country. This brings us to the common ground that it does improve the country’s economy in terms of infrastructure, industry, nuclear power, etc.
The sufferers are often ordinary people who are made to give up their lives for something someone else believes is right.
This kind of government is very unlikely to thrive under the current world’s circumstances, because most countries have modernized, except a few, making people the priority, at least that’s what’s being told by propaganda spreaders.
In India, a new wave of fear has taken over, pronounced by the political leaders opposing the BJP, over the paranoia of them possibly altering the rules of their reign over the country. But that's a different topic to discuss.
