Given the choice would you rather have a democratically elected government exactly as we have at the moment, or would rather have a idol of some kind as the single governing entity. I.e. for those of a religious persuasion, image the earthly vessel of the religious being your ‘dictator’. I.e. Jesus or Mohammad etc? For those without the religious perspective, someone like John Lennon, Stephen Hawking or whoever you look up to or aspire to be.
With a democracy you have 100’s and 1000’s of points of failure; with a dictatorship you only have one. Is one good person in control better than what we currently have?
