How about china?
- Turing_Machine 9y agoMao wasn't a dictator? China has certainly made some significant steps away from dictatorship, though it's still damned authoritarian. It's also made significant steps away from communism (I mean, it has billionaires and everything). That's not a coincidence.
- dismantlethesun 9y agoChina is a communist autocracy where the leadership is a ruling counsel. It has divisions of power, and peaceful transitions of power. It's not a dictatorship characterized of a single leader ruling by force, with no stable transitions of power. As an aside, North Korea is a stable hereditary monarchy, and not a dictatorship. Neither him nor his father took power via force. Now that doesn't make them "good people". Mary Queen of Scots, and King John of England, were legitimate monarchs and terrible leaders.
