Actually, no. The economic track record of dictators is pretty abysimal (conservative policies in general too). Even China falters because Winnie Pooh has turned it into his personal dictatorship (among other things).
I said Emperor, not dictator, for a reason, and was thinking maybe it was an explanation, but it suddenly became clear everyone reading this thought it was justification.
And what would that reason be? Emperor, dictator, despot... They all mean the same thing. 🤦♂️
No, they don't, like at all. Sometimes it's suddenly plain a conversation is not worth continuing.
