I would actually argue that a dictatorship is better in extreme situations than a democracy. Democracies are slow, dictators can produce edicts in a moment. Even the US has tricks to become an approximation if a dictatorship in times of urgency, with marshal law. You don’t put quarantines to a vote, you quarantine. Democracies are good because you need a lot of people’s buy-off to do something and in the general case, that’s a good thing. In the extreme case, it’s too slow.
