Now here is an article that might not require the usual contextualization and background: "where, when, what and why". All I should say is that it's linking to a set of satirical designs applying the "For Dummies" concept to dictatorships (as in : "teach me how to live happily in my dictatorship").
Where I stand, the dictatorship is Egypt, but these designs and video already put a smile on the faces of people living here and there, in China, Iran, Syria, Bangladesh… and counting.
Dictatorships do have a few 'things' in common. Nailing them down was the purpose of the "Dictatorships for dummies" collection.
I hope you won't like it.
