Dictatorship 101 is a satirical survival guide for aspiring strongmen, wannabe populists, and anyone curious about how democracy crumbles with a smile and a slogan. Written in the style of a mock textbook—with sidebars, case studies, and even an ongoing story of three ambitious characters (a coach, a lawyer, and a billionaire-politician)—this book hilariously dissects the tactics of authoritarian leaders past and present. From Mussolini’s balcony rants to TikTok-era crown filters, readers are guided through the dictator’s playbook: spotting opportunities for power, rewriting the rules, weaponizing technology, surrounding yourself with loyalists, and building monuments to your own ego. Along the way, the book skewers historical tyrants and contemporary “democratic strongmen,” showing how fearmongering, propaganda, and political “bullshit” work in practice. But it’s not all theory—woven through each chapter is a satirical drama of modern-day climbers who apply these lessons in their careers and campaigns, with predictably absurd results. Part history, part parody, and part cautionary tale, Dictatorship 101 is perfect for readers of political humor, satire, or anyone trying to understand the modern rise of authoritarianism. Just don’t try these tricks at home—unless it’s to declare yourself Supreme Leader of Family Game Night.
