Re <<Some dictators are more inspired than others>>
agnostic, but ... arguably, can be true, for it is the way if moderated and modulated, else one prospectively ends up with he she and 'they' on the one hand, and otoh, eventually dictators anyway, as only can be far more easily engendered by one person one vote, because that system repeatedly fails, often at cost of a few speeches and a publicity machine machinating
voting perhaps best limited to, oh, say, 10% of the population, ala greek system
issue becomes who gets to be in the 10%
0% never works
100% fails big and without recourse
perhaps the script also depends on how exactly the domain started and developed
On new world island Pitcairn siliconinvestor.com , dictatorship did not work, universal suffrage might have but wasn't allowed, and would have failed once demography takes over, and the fractional electorate system worked until it failed big existential time - any which way, a lot of wet work
