I guess it was just no term limits? Still, he’s got control of all the levers of power and without term limits he can continue to consolidate power over time, gathering favors, loyalty, etc. There’s a reason people like term limits and Mexico fought a couple wars over the idea

If people reelect candidates, what purpose does limiting them serve?

Power goes from father to son. They have elections but the person in power always wins like 100% of us vote, and I don’t even think they have alternative candidates. Someone else above had a link that showed they have a person and you just vote “yes or no” for that person, which isn’t very democratic if you don’t know the alternative.

Untrue, generally.

I don’t, but if you have proof that those things have happened before, I’d be curious to see them.

Try Reading This Soviet World, or Blackshirts and Reds.
