Is a good dictatorship better than a bad democracy?
I think a good dictatorship and a bad democracy are almost the same thing. Bad democracy is just another form of dictatorship. Dictators realized that an aggressive iron fist style dictatorship results in rebellion, so they became more covert. In a bad democracy people have no real freedom but it gives the people the illusion of choice so they passively accept whatever happens. I think this fake democracy is still better than a nasty dictatorship in every way except one. In an nasty dictatorship a lot of people know they’re slaves and in time push for political change. It hopefully becomes a good democracy. However in a bad democracy people think they’re free, don’t care about politics and therefore never get out of it. Sometimes things have to get worse, to wake everyone up, and then they can get better.
