nothing wrong with a dictator as long as he retains a certain level of err down to eartheness(english secondary language>_<), its not that different from a monarchy wich was the ruling method of choice for a long time. also in times of great economic trouble people tend to want a strong charismatic leader, just look at most of europe during the 1930's, and to a certain extent untill the war it looked like it was working. many other dictatorships seem to work okay too, like cuba. what would be nice for applying democracy would be to somehow trick the population into gradually wanting it themselves and believing that it can be done peacfully. maybe this could be done through education or media propaganda, im not sure. |

Growing democracy in an area that lacks experience in it could be done with having local town meetings and polling for minor offices. This is a bottom-up approach that I've heard doesn't work so well, but instilling democratic values takes time anyway. |
