How do you assure the dictator stays good (corruption, dementia, general personality shift)?
What happens if the dictator is no longer good (died, see above, the world has changed and the dictator can not adapt)?
Sure the dictator can assign ministers for topics outside of their skillset and similar and a head physician to determine when a replacement is needed due to health reasons etc, but a dictatorship is always unnacountable. What if the physician coludes with the vice-dictator to declare the dictator unfit? What if the dictator is actually unfit but accuses the physician of colusion? It has no safety checks against its rulers other than revolution and coup.
Democracy has flaws but so does dictatorship and they are not limited to “what if dictator evil”
Who defines “good hands”?
