Stalin is a bad example of this because he didn't use fear appropriately. You should not be feared so much that you are despised, because in this case, given the opportunity, your people will overthrow you.

This lesson was given pro bono.
Stalin is a fine example. just a different one. if you want to look at the US, look no further than COINTELPRO from the 50's to the end of the Vietnam war. used by several president's, all with the guidance of Hoover.
