Modern dictatorships and "communist" states are run by big business.
Where profit becomes more important than life itself.

A population like that is a breeding ground for disease, especially
when half of it lives under poverty in slums.


Keep plenty of guns, plenty of ammo, and your shortwave radios and
transmitters, they are the only thing that will save you from dangerous
regimes.

Train often, watch your six, keep your powder dry and you should be
alright.


I don't think that handguns will do much good against a modern army
equipped with the latest weapons. Bombs will, however, especially if
delivered by bombers who don't care if they get out alive and indeed who
expect that they won't. A bunch of Muslims with artillery shells and
plastique have run circles around the Israeli and American armies,
arguably the best equipped and trained fighting forces in existence
today. If you're willing to strap a bomb vest to your body and blow
yourself up in the name of freedom, then talk about fighting a
dictatorship. Granted, that takes more commitment than keeping an AK47
handy, but it's been proven to work. But even more important is the
power of information and propaganda, that's where shortwave comes in.
It's hard to jam or cancel, so if you have a protected position you can
set up a transmitter and broadcast stuff to your comrades all day long,
and the enemy can't do much about it. Shortwave transmitters in the
Middle East broadcast many hours a day of calls to jihad. There's not
much in the way of English language broadcasts from these stations,
which makes it hard to appreciate their impact, especially since they're
only audible for a few hours a day in North America. But in Arabic
they're quite powerful.
