Third-world countries are some of the most controlled countries in the world. Their own political governances do not give them rights and expect the people of the country to continue with the same obedience they once had.

Though there can be prosperity for those who live in such countries, there are slight chances that the government would ever want the people to be knowledgeable enough to lose their grip. This is a huge reason which makes political power remains consistent. The people are not given the right to choose their desired leaders or even allowed to question those in control. Those in power have ideologies similar to those before them, and the cycle continues.

Emotion Based Control

Have you ever been emotionally manipulated? It feels wrong, doesn’t it? Feels like you were stripped of your emotional thinking and could not make the necessary decisions at that moment. After that period is over, one slowly falls back into reality and realizes what just happened. This process is what takes place in most third-world countries.

The nation is played through their emotions. A singular factor is chosen and is stretched to the point of breaking. People who have democratic rights are not able to escape the fake promises and plans that lie beneath all the façade.

Emotions are also the reason why many authoritarian leaders have been able to come to power. People such as Fidel Castro promised his people social equality. This promise was supposed to bring peace between the people and reduce the economic inequality between them. This was not what happened at all. His influence on the government is still prominent, and the country is in shambles. As explained by the author Geroge Fowler in his book My Cuba Libre, Castro’s rule is still alive even after his death.  

Unjust Elections

Make the people think they have power but do not give them the control they believe they have. It is a very common sight for unjust or influenced elections to take place in third-world countries. Those who are higher-ups are connected with one another and simply pass down the power they have to the one they want to be in control next.

Taking the example of Cuba and the system that prevails, Fidel Castro died years ago. However, Raul Castro took control after him. There was a simple passing down of power. The minimal involvement of the people’s say should be enough to explain how the generational curse of political power is passed down from one family member to the other instead of giving the people the right to choose.

No Awareness

The people are not shown that they have better options and those who do rise to power to remove the system of generational politics are mostly overthrown and then accidently seem to pass away. The nation is in millions and is simply not given the awareness that could potentially harm the presiding rulers.

Political parties have consistently tried to reduce the impact of education to keep the people bottled up into one mindset of ignorance and no growth. Though they have survived to date, there are minor chances of this presiting through the coming years.
