The challenge with overthrowing a dictator is that if those involved are still statists, they will likely just install a new dictator, often one even worse than the previous one. This pattern has occurred in Venezuela before, and it seems to be happening again.
The aim of the people is not to eliminate government but to replace it with one that caters to their desires. The root issue lies in their collectivist mindset, which prioritizes having someone else meet their needs at the expense of others. Given this attitude, what other outcome could they expect?
The true solution is individualism, not merely finding a new leader. When people take responsibility for themselves and move beyond statism, they will effectively render a dictator powerless through disregard.
