    seems contradictory, dictators are almost never benevolent. They wouldn’t be a dictator if they were benevolent. the only thing they do is immediately cede power to a " council or a elected persons. unless you mean something like diety that is benevolent, ruling from the “shadows” through another leader.

      I disagree; it’s probably very rare that someone who wishes well for all people comes to power, but I don’t think it’s impossible. Think about any tribe that all respects a leader to the point of worship, and encourages him to become their commanding leader, for his view to be regarded above all others.

      It’s a very unstable society, given that this leader couldn’t take the position forever, but he could make good decisions alone.
