Only a dictatorship can ensure that the right people get into the right positions. There can be a vast screening process lasting decades bringing people up in the regime, who have proven their intelligence, wisdom, loyalty to the nation. An example I'd give is the quality of the officer corps in the US military, especially as one looks higher and higher in rank. It is a meritocracy, by the highest ranks most are geniuses. With a dictatorship, you are surrendering one master for another. Not a good idea in my book. We already have a dictatorship of the Zionists, don't we?    In case you've not noticed many of the top military brass are also Zionist Jews.
