The closest I could find was Cuba, but Cuba didn’t do this to themselves, sanctions and the collapse of the USSR did. And they still were not poorer than when they revolted.

Then I looked up the GDPs of long lasting dictators. They can be poorer than their neighbors, but they aren’t poorer than their own past.

Oh my god can we talk about it though???
I’ve been absolutely floored by how much people assume about how dictatorships work.
Last January I became obsessed with finding an example of a dictator that wrecked their economy on purpose.

You think we take photos of our ballots?
I’m a liberal centrist. Die hard Hillary supporter. I voted for Mamdani with glee because I hate Cuomo and I like Mamdani’s ideas. 😘

I mean, not really. Hitler instituted price controls and artificially boosted his economy by any means necessary which made his GDP do this.

Which is exactly why people need to stay non violent and keep showing up in clown gear. They are desperately trying to trigger a serious conflict so they can use it as propaganda. Whatever the enemy wants, don’t give it to them.

Which is so incredibly essential. Clowning them is a million times better than fighting them. They WANT the fight to turn it into propaganda.

Right so, when the dictator starts ruining their economy, that’s when revolutions start. But in the beginning of a dictator’s tenure they tend to prop up the economy by any means necessary.

Ok, so, here's something I think people don't understand. Hitler didn't trash his economy, he artificially propped it up. The war destroyed their economy. He used slave labor and debt and price controls. But this was GDP under the Reich.

We have some of the lowest crime rates in our history. I grew up here in these peaks, so they sound insane to me. But, there is a general feeling like parts of Manhattan are rotting.
