Dictators and despots, particularly those who came to power as "Revolutionaries", should, no, must remember the rule:
If Mama is not happy then nobody is happy!(Let me spell it out for you in no uncertain terms - the revolution worked once before when the people became unhappy. Learn your lessons before you are fed you own dog food.)

Published: Monday, April 21, 2008HAVANA (Reuters) - A group of Cuban women peacefully demonstrating for the release of their jailed husbands were roughed up by a mob and arrested on Monday near the offices of President Raul Castro.
The 10 women, members of an organization known as the "Women in White," gathered at a park Monday morning at the edge of Cuba's Revolution Square, where the government and Communist Party headquarters are located.
They wore white T-shirts emblazoned with the faces and names of their loved ones, but carried no signs.

"We are here to demand the release of our husbands and won't leave until they are free or they arrest us. We have waited long enough, we want to talk to the new president," group leader Laura Pollan said.
Moments later, a bus pulled up and about 20 female corrections officers tried to arrest the women, who sat on the sidewalk, clasped arms and refused to move.
"They are dying, they are dying," one women yelled with tears in her eyes as the corrections officer tried to move her toward the bus.
A mob of about 100 government supporters, mainly women from nearby government buildings, quickly entered the fray, pushing the women, picking them up, throwing them into the waiting bus and yelling insults.
