You want to get your
people's attention? The playbook is clear. Show them that
their enemies are your enemies... ...and that you are the one
who will take them down. Like these guys did. From an early age,
future Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi gave fiery speeches
against the Western-backed monarchy he called "corrupt," and was received as a hero
when he toppled them in a coup. The father of North Korea, Kim Il-Sung,
came to prominence reminding his people of the humiliations they suffered at the hands
of the occupying Japanese Army. And as Idi Amin rose to power, he focused
the Ugandan people's frustrations on their former colonial master, Britain. We see that they are deposed in Uganda,
that the British imperialism is over
