A Responsible Dictatorship?

HOW EXACTLY is a dictatorship a bad thing? Well, popular culture depicts dictators as terrible people, as does history, and in most cases, they have been, because they've been incredibly irresponsible and selfish. Some started out that way, well others where corrupted by absolute power and turned into stereotypical dictators.

But what if a responsible person, who would not become corrupted by absolute power, became a dictator?

Some of you are going to say that no matter what, 'absolute power corrupts absolutely,' and true, in most cases it does, but so far, in most cases, these people started off as self-centered, egotistical, and arrogant, and how no one originally assumed they where going to make things terrible I don't know.

In some ways, a responsible dictatorship could work very well, but a dictatorship like the Nazi dictatorship, or a fascist/ communist dictatorship in general, where national egotism and racial superiority become part of the civil consciousness, there tends to be alot of tragedy and tension.

Maybe there could be a government where a dictatorship is the top of the federal pyramid of power, but it would be a sub-democracy where senators/ premiers would still be democratically elected in the separate states/ provinces.

Please note that personally I think democracy is the most ideal form of government, and that I'm just writing this article for argument sake. I in no way support dictatorships, but only condone slight aspects of it. If a responsible dictatorship were achieved, their would be only be some slight downsides to it.

Think about it: if their were a responsible dictator, it would prevent lunatics from being democratically elected into office due to campaign misconceptions (we're looking at you, Bush), and it would stop irresponsible, selfish, and more then slightly insane dictators from systematically taking power by taking advantage of democracy (we're looking at you, Hitler).

If you think about it, the only time dictatorships are bad are when their socialist or communist dictatorships, and when it's egotistical, racist, and selfish leaders that gain control.

That's the end of this article, but I have one more thing to mention.
If nobody noticed, I didn't publish an article yesterday. I apologize for my short absence, and admit I have no real excuse for not getting around to it.
I did, on the other hand, publish an article on my spin off blog On a Sidenote.
Actually, on the subject of my spin off blog, I may be closing it and moving all my articles from it to this main blog. Give me your thoughts on that idea, tell me if you think both should continue to be segregated from one another, or if they should come together as a single blog.
