Yet, dictators still persist in many third world countries, relishing political power, persecuting dissidents and repressing people. Naively, they assume their power will be everlasting. But someday, there may be uprisings and they may be hunted down by mad crowds that chant “Down with tyranny!” or “Freedom!” Chased by angry crowds and running for their lives, they may regret not giving up the throne earlier, but it will be already too late to undo what has been done. Dictators are easily intoxicated by absolute power and often miss opportunities to give up before it is too late.

독재자들은 권력이 영원할 거라 순진하게 믿지만, 언젠가 봉기가 일어나 성난 군중에게 쫓길 수 있다는 내용이에요.
이미 저지른 일을 되돌리기엔 늦고, 일찍 권좌에서 물러나지 않은 걸 후회할 수 있다고 하네요.

relishing은 권력을 즐기면서, persecuting과 repressing은 반대 세력을 탄압하며 정도로 보면 자연스러워요.

마지막 문장은 절대 권력에 취해 물러날 기회를 놓친다는 뜻입니다.
