		Your Benevolent Dictator is not perfect in my view (it seems like he's still perpetuating some injustice), however, he is indubitably better than the democracy.
		Conversely, however benevolant a dictatorship is, it's still predicated on tyranny and oppression since it must somehow respond repressively to dissent in order to survive.
		This is why the idea of a benevolant dictatorship is oxymoronic, a dictatorship by definition requires non-benevolance, even in spite of the intentions of those in power.
