THAT WILY COYOTE ISSUES AN ESSENTIAL LIST: Coyote Blog: How to Spot a Dictatorship

You Know its a Dictatorship When:

  1. Michael Moore portrays the country as a kite-flying paradise

  2. Jimmy Carter sanctioned their last election

  3. The UN certifies that there is no genocide

  4. They sign friendship pacts with other dictatorships (also here and here and here too)

  5. They are a member of the UN Human Rights commission (not 100% foolproof but getting closer every year)

  6. They were once a French colony, and/or France is opposing sanctions against it (also here too)

  7. Their people are impoverished and they lag the world in economic growth

The comments section vastly expands the list.
