RE: We have a Democracy and thus are wiser than you back water Dictatorship types...
Your reasoning is interesting ... dictatorship is definitely evil. Freedom is a very great value.

Ever heard of a benevolent dictator. People only consider it evil if the dictator is pushing for evil things. Yet that does not have to be always the case.
And again I ask?
How is one person being able to force you to do something worse than a group of people being able to force you to do something?
The end result is the same. The group can be just as evil. In fact, I'd argue that replacing ONE evil person might be easier than trying to purge evil out of a group.
It is also something you do not have if other people can FORCE you to do things.
For a long time I do not remember such, that someone forced me) always it is possible to rise and leave ...
That is the claim. Yet it ultimately is unrealistic. Seriously think about it.
Can you choose not to pay taxes and still live where you are without being fined, thrown into prison, etc?
That is coercive force.
It may not seem obvious because it is what we live with. It is also unrealistic, because everywhere on the planet is doing that through governments. That is only one form.
So you can get up and leave to go somewhere that is doing the same thing. :)
Government is FORCE. That is really the only reason they exist. To force people to follow their rules. If you do not follow their rules that is a crime, and different governments deal with crime in different ways.
Yet rise and leave just moves you from one government to another. Most of them also have a central bank (I believe only 3 countries on the planet now do not) so you also have the FORCED way that the central banks expect you to do things, and again it doesn't matter where you leave to go to. It is still there too.
In my country, once upon a time, people who did not agree with the government went to live in the taiga in the hermitages ... apparently they were my ancestors)))
Yes, there were times in the past where you did have such options. That hasn't been the case for some time. Every inch of the planet is owned by some government or at least subject to governmental treaties.
Perhaps you are in something right)
No, dictatorship is not necessary evil. And democracy is not necessary good.
Why should it be?
I did not understand, what you wanted to say, forgive me, English is not my native language.
You stated that dictatorship is evil.
But is that true? Or is that just a description of a structure without morals?
Because what is good and what is bad can be defined differently. And a dictatorship does not have to be evil. It is very likely, but not necessary.
