"What is a throne? — a bit of wood gilded and covered in velvet. I am the state— I alone am here the representative of the people. Even if I had done wrong you should not have reproached me in public—people wash their dirty linen at home. France has more need of me than I of France."
Autocracy is an authoritarian unity and absolutist ideology that believes the supreme political power to direct all the activities of the state should be concentrated in the hands of one person. He has a massive ego, is very narcissistic, and is very cruel to other ideologies.
Variants
Liberal Autocracy (also called 
Liberal Oligarchy) is the child of 
Autocracy and 
Constitutional Liberalism. Historically, the term typically referred to 
non-democratic regimes which followed 
liberal principles, in a similar vein to 
Enlightened Absolutism.
According to the 
Brookings Institute, more contemporary liberal autocracies seek to subvert or prevent radical change, rule indirectly through the 
"façade of democracy", limit freedom of speech or assembly to those who fall inside the Overton window, and elected officials have minimal accountability outside of elections.[1] In other words, liberal autocracies in the modern day tend to resemble 
illiberal democracies, with key differences being a liberal autocracy's willingness to respect civil liberties and lack of support, real or otherwise, for democratic institutions.[2]
Liberal autocracies tend to have 
constitutional limits on power. Still, there is enough leeway to ensure threats to the regime can be minimized and the 
court system is often stacked with loyalists. Unlike "enlightened monarchies," liberal autocracies also derive their legitimacy from the 
people's will, rather than divine right.
An historic example of this was the 
Austro-Hungarian Empire.[3] 
Egypt has also been described as a liberal autocracy.
History
There are many examples of Autocracy in history. Many ideologies have autocracy as the main part of their ideology like 
Absolute Monarchism and Dictatorship. Some famous autocrats are 
Adolf Hitler, 
Benito Mussolini, 
Ivan the Terrible, 
Napoleon Bonaparte, 
Diocletian, 
Constantine the Great, 
Hideki Tojo, 
Dong Zhuo, 
Francisco Franco, 
Alfredo Stroessner, 
Suharto and 
Augusto Pinochet. While their ideologies are very different in many different ways they all have one thing in common, being autocracies.
Beliefs
Autocracy believes that supreme political power to direct all the activities of the state should be concentrated in the hands of one person, whose decisions are subject to neither external legal restraints nor regularized mechanisms of popular control. The autocrat can be anything from a monarch to a president.
Personality and Behavior
Autocracy has a massive ego. He makes everyone pretty much worship him as a god or they will execute them. He is also very cruel. He is known for using many horrific torture techniques on his citizens and on any political enemies. He is very narcissistic. This is personified by him holding and looking into a mirror and complementing himself whenever they can.
How to Draw
The laurel wreath and the color scheme are based on the aesthetics of the 
Roman Empire, which was a quintessential autocracy.
- Draw a ball
- Color it #A80000
- Draw a head and color it #FFC90E
- Draw a Laurel Wreath on the head or on top of the ball and color it #22B14C
- Draw the eyes and you're done!
- (Optional) Add a mirror
| Color Name | HEX | RGB | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deep red | #A80000 | 168, 0, 0 | |
| Gold | #FFC90E | 255, 201, 14 | |
| Green | #22B14C | 34, 177, 76 | |
Relationships
Myself
Me - Ah, I look so good today! I look good every day! Always making sure to put me above others.
Useful Tools
Authoritarianism - My praxis.
Totalitarianism - Similar to the above guy, but even stronger.
Cultism - Praise the glorious leader!
Absolute Monarchism - Me, but hereditary.
Police Statism - Amazing! Keep arresting and killing anyone who even dares to speak against me!
Stratocracy - Sometimes he helps me get into power and I also feed rebelling plebs to him. Good boy!
Caesarism - I must stay dictator for life.
Bonapartism - What comes after emperor?
Stalinism - Collective leadership is nonsense, only the general secretary should have power.
Nazism - Führerprinzip is the best principle.
Maoism - Marxism-Legalism? Hell yeah!
Demagoguery - Pulling the Plebs' Strings to do your bidding? Based!
Ingsoc - Unperson anyone who complains.
Kraterocracy - Or personally kill them.
Self-Interested Highborn
Anarcho-Egoism and 
Autarchy - We both agree that only ourselves matters but anarchy for others would only harm my ability to please my own ego, while my system directly is used to empower me and me alone, there can only be one self-interested man on the top free to do as they will. The rest are my tools for achieving what I want.
Populism - You claim to care about pl*bs (and many of you do care), but I like that you go against 
elite collective leaders and that some of you end up becoming me after removing those power-sharers.
Optimateism - Sulla was based, but you were the ones who killed Caesar and abolished the position of dictator. Fortunately, Augustus kicked your ass.
Hive-Mind Collectivism - Only OK if there is a single ruling core (and that would be me).
Revolting Plebs
Democracy - No, plebs won't rule!
Ochlocracy - I SAID NO! AWAY WITH YOU PLEBIANS!
Insurrectionary Anarchism - It's all so tiresome.
Illegalism - This is why I hate commoners!
Anti-Authoritarianism - Another filthy pleb!- Oligarchy.
Diarchy and 
Tetrarchy - Sharing power? NEVER! 
Anarcho-Collectivism - My Opposite! Horizontal social structure without a single ruler? Never!
Anarchism - Giving up so no one can rule!? HOW ABOUT NO?
Anarcho-Nihilism - One of the worst anarchists, stop trying to kill me!
Constitutionalism - I AM THE LAW!!!
