What's your favorite dictator?

Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895) is known as the first "fashion dictator" and the "father of haute couture" by many fashion historians. Worth was an English fashion designer who founded the House of Worth, a leading fashion house in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Worth's innovative use of luxurious fabrics and ability to capture the spirit of an era earned him the title of "Fashion's First Dictator".

I don't know if we can call her a despot, she has a strong sense of responsibility but she is not evil (she's evil only with Aliens) and she is concerned about the fate of her comrades (Drake), above all she is someone who does his job, in a film where the goal is to survive

Ahh, but I bet she could be despot, with the right encouragement, Drake just didn't know what he had there. lol :).

> "Lenin as a ruthless and single-minded despot and a 'product of his time and place: a violent, tyrannical and corrupt Russia.' He seized power in a coup, promised a revolution, a socialist utopia for the people, offered simple solutions to complex issues and constantly lied; in fact, what he created was more 'a mirror image of the Romanov autocracy.' He authorized the deaths of thousands of people, and created a system based on the idea that political terror against opponents was justified for the greater ideal. One of his old comrades who had once admired him said he 'desired the good ... but created evil.' And that would include his invention of Stalin, who would take Lenin's system of the gulag and the secret police to new heights"

Quotes by seemingly random propagandist authors (of which I'm sure there are hundreds if not thousands) do not support one's point at all. One must look concretely at his deeds and historically documented facts, not some spewed-up propaganda that has been mass-produced since at least the McCarthy era.
