Was there ever a good dictator?

You rang?

No, they're legitimate.

Yes, all monarchies are military institutions

Wrong

Authoritarian autocracy = dictatorship

Authoritarian autocracy = monarchy

Literally NOTHING wrong.

No response to my Hafez posting? :(

Cincinnatus, Tito, Mussolini pre-1936

You can't rebut it without breaking the 25 year rule.

interesting take president wilson

Yes there was. His name is Hitler.

Hitler did nothing wrong

Ron paul has never held power though.

The Qing almost made it.

Even though I hate communism, I think Fidel Castro at least tried to make conditions better for the people in Cuba.

Monarchs technically can't be dictators.

Fuck off grandpa.

Really grinds my worn down from honest to god hard working sheens.

Sometimes.

NK is pretty much a modern absolute monarchy. As is Oman and Saudi Arabia.

Constitutional Monarchies are not, because they are essentially under Rule of Law, they just trust the monarch to stand for the law rather than make it or be above it.

Feudal Monarchies are dictatorships in the sense that petty African warlords are dictators - they are above the law but their reach and the stability of their power isn't so much that you'd say they are quite on top of it all.

This lol fuck reds.
Sieg heil.

Literally the best politician of the 20th century.

Tito, Sukarno, Sankara, Nasser, and Lee Kwan Yew

Tito was good for Yugoslavia. Lee Quan Yew for Singapore as well.

Thing is, the inherent destabilizing effects that dictatorships have - from incentivizing deliberately weak institutions to dangerous power transfers - tend to make "good dictators" short lived and/or cause their achievements to be undone shortly after they're removed from power. Democratic systems are a hell of a lot better for lasting reforms and governmental longevity.

imagine how temporal you would have to be consider creating this thread

A fuckload of them, especially before the 20th century.

The dude who ran Singapore is basically the only reason Singapore is not just an oversized fishing village right now.

Lots of Anciet Greec satraps were actually good...

You are like a Liberal Straw-man
Except that you are real

nasser destroyed his country though

Stalin literally did nothing wrong. Kulaks deserved worse.

...

Mustafa Atatürk.

He fucked his country up beyond repair. The economy was absolutely awful, literally sub-Africa-tier, only minorly covered up by Soviet gibs and he left a powder keg of an ethnic conflict.

Donald BLUMPF xD

Take the hint and fuck off already, commietard.

>nobody posted Napoléon yet
Also, a shitton of monarchs.

Legitimately knew how to play the European game and generally keep Spain secure all throughout its modern history. Dictator, yes. But certainly a good leader.

I don't think any communist dictator tried to make life worse for the people, except Pol Pot. But, he still had good intentions, maybe. Deindustrializing seems to be making life worse by definition

agree

Yes
No
Would you call him a dictator by definition? but good answer
YES! With his downfall, ww2 began pretty much.

He did nothing to prevent Poland from being destroyed. He lied about corrupt government and the only corruption he found was inside his own army.

Would Philippe Petain be considered a dictator? If so then him.
*blocks ur path*

*dies*
*poland is still on the map*
not to defend him but seeing as it happened after his death its hard to blame him for it

Best of them all.
