	Dictator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However unlike the original Roman dictators (who were a constitutional institution), modern dictators rarely give themselves the title "dictator"; it is generally used by their opponents as a pejorative term for totalitarian rule, just like despot and tyrant (also unlike their counterparts in Antiquity).
		The association between the dictator and the military, on whose support he generally depends, whether he seized power as a soldier or as a civilian, is a very common one; many dictators take great pains to emphasize their connections with the military and often wear military uniforms.
		The benevolent dictator is a more modern version of the classical "enlightened despot," being an absolute ruler who exercises his or her political power for the benefit of the people rather than exclusively for his or her own benefit.

		In modern usage, it refers to an absolutist or autocratic ruler who assumes sole power over the state (though the term is normally not applied to an absolute monarch; see also Oliver Cromwell).
