Dictatorships and Military Regimes

Much of Guerilla warfare in the modern context takes place in countries where the system of governance is under dispute usually by a sizeable majority. This is almost always the case with dictatorial and military regimes. The problem with most parties employing Guerilla warfare is the lack of a condition of equilibrium (or an endpoint to the addressed imbalance.) Hollywood films (of quite some time back) like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045296/Viva Zapata illustrate this fact. They seem to get locked into a phase of continual regime reversal (also addressed in original comic style by Hergé in his "Tintin" series.) Some dictators outsurvive others, but most of their tenures are marked by guerilla attacks, assassination attempts (or assassinations) and a turbulent, unstable society with a bleak law and order situation. The recent breakdown of Indonesian economy (owing to both natural and political factors) to the extent that they have been unable to afford oil in the global market is an example of such results. Idi Amin, Gen. Augusto Pinochet, Col. Muammar Al Gadaffi, Fidel Castro, President Suharto (Indonesia) are some of the names that dominate this genre.
