    DICTATORSHIP FORM A: Hidden Dictatorship in which special interests control the peoples lives with the use of puppets known as freely elected officials on the media circus which they fully control. in this type of dictatorship no one is directly responsible when people are enslaved with debt, don't have health care. everything is blamed on society rather then leadership.

    DICTATORSHIP FORM B: A leader with power who can make changes instead of being forced to break campaign promises to the voters like the last two in these videos:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9SOVzMV2bc"]The George Bush You Forgot - YouTube[/ame]
    This is exactly what America needs and there is only one way to achieve this which is explained in my web site.

    Why in the world would we ever allow a dictatorship? You can make the claim that it would work out great for everybody, but I don't think dictatorships have turned out that way, historically.

    Don't people read posts instead of replying from the titles?

    Yes. You said that an open dictatorship is better than a hidden dictatorship, right?

    But an open dictatorship is still a dictator. The only time that's okay is when you're talking about parents and their children.

    My point is that hidden dictatorship will call real leaders dictators

    Your hidden dictatorships are nonexistent what you're thinking of is a plutocracy where the elite rich control the country this can be done through many means such as through democracy. They are not the leaders per say but they contribute unfairly to decisions which affects the masses unfairly. They are a specific group of people who share a class and have no specific leaders. They are all influenced by interests that they share. They don't want to govern the people take care of them or arrest them. They simply want to exploit them however they can. More problems today are caused by the elite few without regard for the masses. I don't think it is possible to keep electing one leader who will only look out for the masses. There would much more likely either be an extremely authoritarian corrupt regime or warring factions within the government and nothing would change. We need less power away from the few and into the hands of the many. Besides private companies could hire private armies if they needed to in order to achieve their goals if a dominant power ever came to be. The world needs way less centralization of power and a stronger diversity of it amongst people all over the world.

    There are probably people in the world who want to be hidden dictators, 'cause really, if you're gonna be a dictator, I think that's the way to go.

    There may even be people who think they really are hidden dictators, 'cause their experience of life is that what they want to happen, happens, and for the shallow-minded that can be compelling evidence.

    But there can be no hidden dictators because nobody is the boss of me. Except God. I suppose, if you're an atheist, you could regard God as a hidden dictator. But that's the way it works: it goes from God to me to the rest of you people, as far as I'm concerned.

    Some people have a real need to have Daddy or Mommy just run everything.
