I'm trying to figure out the grammar for this---please help:

"They don't have anything but a dictatorship".
or "They don't have anything other than a dictatorship"

Everything I come up with seems awkward.

Thanks.

I'd use "Ili havas nenion krom diktaturo" and "Ili havas nenion alian krom diktaturo" respectively.

La unuan mi tradukas:
Ili havas nenion ol diktaturon.

La duan:
Ili havas nenion alian ol diktaturon.

Another suggestion (the others are fine by me):
Ili havas nur diktaturon.

According to NPIV 'nenion krom' and 'nenion alian krom' are Zamenhofian usage.

The have might be more eloquently rendered with 'koni'.

I like the simpler 'ili havas (konas) nur diktaturon'.
