I'm sorry if I'm misjudging, but I picture all you who think of America as the greatest nation on Earth as the singer of this song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U1mlCPMYtPk
you are misjudging. as for america itself ask yourself these questions;
1: name all the nations that have landed a man on the moon
2: name all the nations that have landed rovers on mars
3: name all the nations that have sent TWO probes outside the solar system
4: name all the nations that have space telescopes
5: name the nations that flew aircraft in 1903
6: name the nation that first developed nuclear power
7: name the nation that has the greatest capacity to move men and material across the globe efficiently
Japan was a dictatorship in WWII (yes the Japanese still have the same beliefs today as they did then) and look at it today. A very successful and HOMOGENEOUS nation awaits U...
The Empire of Japan Existed in World War II. Modern day Japan wasn't founded until 1947. It's technically a different country.

You didn't accurately describe either party. And a lack of dictatorship is not anarchy. Anarchy is the absence of government.

They're more or less the same. It does somewhat depend.
A dictator always has absolute power. Kings might not. England still has a monarch, but with limited power. But in an absolute monarchy, a king and a dictator are not different at all, with the possible exception of transfers of power. Kings always pass the throne to the next in line. Dictators can, but there are often power struggles that follow.

You live in an odd world. I don't think America is the most perfect nation on Earth, but that doesn't mean I think it would be better off as a dictatorship.
did you ever think on how you will pay to incarcerate all the gun owners, pot heads, booze heads, drugsters, porn peepers for life??
he is going to pay for it the way dictators always pay for things like that, high taxes on everyone but the very rich who support him, and many of those prisoners will end up being executed to save taxpayer money, that he can then use to line his pockets and swiss bank accounts with, so that when he is deposed, and if he survives being deposed, he can move to a country that will take him in and give him asylum, and he can then live in luxury for the rest of his miserable life.
Discovered, not invented. The term "electricity" is ascribed to William Gilbert (England). First battery (in historic times) - Volta (Italy). First dynamo - Faraday (England). Alternating current generator - Tesla (Serbia). Other notables: Ă˜rsted (Denmark), Maxwell (Scotland), Ampere (France), Ohm (Germany).
If you intend to be dictator for any length of time, you will have bribes to pay and an army to support. The money won't appear just because you are Mr Wonderful in your own mind.
