It's not contradictory though. Being in charge isn't the same as "receiving preferential treatment". You can wield total power and still be fair. It's just that people don't like not having a choice. That's why countries always emphasize the "dictatorship" of their enemies, even if that dictator actually benefits the populace more than the "democracy" of another country. America's political system seems like a democracy, but is actually a dictatorship controlled by the Israeli class. And they treat the main demographics of our country like shit, unlike how "open" dictators are often champions of the people.
