#1 As wrong as dictators are in some respects, there is one thing they do for a very good reason: homogenize the population. Importantly, this is a good idea under most circumstances, and should be encouraged by a democratic government as well. Just done differently.

Instead of just ordering it, a wise government creates a win-win situation for homogenization, with business incentives both for outsiders to move into an area, and more importantly, for local to want the outsiders to move in.

#2 I think of homogenization as mixing together until components are smoothly distributed. What dictators tend to do is more like de-homogenization, where the component parts are separated completely (and frequently the 'undesired' components are eliminated entirely.)

#3 I think of it mainly as a colloid. It is said that it takes a lot of eggs to make the Mayonaise, tasty for awhile, then all becomes poison.
