"There are few people to whom tyranny is not delightful" Samuel Johnson
conquer the world, controlling people, being the supreme dictator, or at least sel the master of a country or company, to have people who tremble at your name and tell you all the time how great you are. What would your bad jokes, or always celebrate the brilliance of your ideas. All we ever wanted it, the detail is that many of us we desire, and few ever attempt to try to be a supreme dictator. Well, dear reader, "if the idea of \u200b\u200bamassing great wealth and orchestrate the lives and minds of others you love" the book "How to Rule the World. A handbook for the aspiring dictator" ("As the World Governor. A guide for the aspiring dictator") Andre de Guillaume is for you. With a great deal of irony and cynicism, the author shows the common features present dictators, how they stay in power and qualities that a person should have to control, but the world, YOUR world.
With a gallery of strong men and women to emulate, as well as a decalogue of things you can do as a dictator and a democracy, which I quote below: Close
Of course, there are other suggestions that I find most interesting at this stage of constitutional reform, for example in the chapter "How to Run a Country" ("How to manage a country"), the author suggests three things the would-be tyrant can do once on the throne to give the idea that doing something for his subjects, and these are:
Of course, when one reads these things, you can not avoid a sense of deja vu ... The author also gives ideas on how to maintain and amass more power, relations with other despots, the importance of propaganda and the power of "idea", ie the leitmotiv environment which turns your despotism, from the "This country must be governed by God" of Khomeini, the "In five years this country will be self-sufficient in food" Stalin ... "This is a peaceful but armed revolution" can also be a good idea, IMHO.
Finally, in one chapter of Guillaume reminds us that the masses usually what they want is football (or baseball) and bread, are "leaders those who call and make the revolutions. Definitely required reading in these times of constitutional changes.

- a television station or newspaper.

- Rename of some major cities ("the" Queen of Guraira Repano "says something?).
- Change Flag (add stars to the flag or change the horse's coat of arms is also true).
- Rename the country (Republic, ahem, Bolivarian , eg, Venezuela).
