bodleing2: Benevolent dictator?

Isn't that an oxymoron?
hmmmm.......dunno

(checks out google....)

be·nev·o·lent
well meaning and kindly.
kind

dic·ta·tor
a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained control by force.
Similar: autocrat

perhaps worth adding...

au·to·crat·ic
relating to a ruler who has absolute power.
"the constitutional reforms threatened his autocratic power"
taking no account of other people's wishes or opinions; domineering.
"an autocratic management style"


lookin' like an oxymoron to me....grin

I assume that Tito was benevolent, since my Bosnian neighbors liked him and he was a Serb. The worst thing about benevolent despots is succession; and he proves that point conclusively. The rest of the choices are a joke.

My first of two wives was Croatian. her family loved Tito. No one, though, was ever able to explain to me how Tito was able to form a functional nation with Serbs and Croats working side by side. confused
