The only way dictatorship could be sustained is by it being the obstruction to societal progress at the expense of greater good as well as the nation and human development. Even this will only buy them time. In the end less harsh dictatorship will extend some more time but dictatorships also change the dictators unfortunately making them worse over time and out of touch with reality and humanity in effect fastening the time of their downfall by popular protest. All in all dictatorship is never a sustainable form of governing.
Man's nature requirements demands personal freedom and development based on fair and just rule of law. Neither of which could be delivered by a dictatorship.
Thus even regime like North Korea could not be expected to stand forever.
Every dictatorship will collapse either by internal factor or infighting or the regime is weakening the state or society itself so much that it attracts a much stronger nation to naturalize it.
The fallacy of reasoning usually made by dictators is that they are somehow so important so irreplaceable that their totalitarian rule would benefit the majority of a nation. It's a false logic because NO LEADER is so talented as being irreplaceable UNLESS he's consciously and systematically trying to make it so either by propaganda or state endorsed lies or real efforts by impeding societal development or both. In short we are not so radically different from one another INSIDE. This may take insight or empathy to realize, something that an egoistical person unable to come to realization. In other words dictators are living in a dream world their egoistical mind project. And because of their lofty egoistical delusion dictators are vulnerable to treat their people however they like, discarding the fact that each is a person JUST LIKE himself.
