Spin- Benevolent Dictators

[Techniec]

I wanna make a thread about dictators of the 20th centuries, considered "benovelent". None were perfect, but I think ultimately their good outweighed the bad, and I admire them

Anyways, Marshall Tito......

the GOAT:

Cincinnatus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When his son was convicted and condemned to death, Cincinnatus was forced to live in humble circumstances, working on his own small farm, until an invasion caused him to be called to serve Rome as dictator, an office which he immediately resigned after completing his task of defeating the rivaling tribes of the Aequians, Sabines, and Volscians. He lived approximately around the time that Lucius Junius Brutus did. His immediate resignation of his absolute authority with the end of the crisis has often been cited as an example of outstanding leadership, service to the greater good, civic virtue, lack of personal ambition and modesty. As a result, he has inspired a number of organizations and other entities, many of which are named in his honor.

He came out of retirement again for a second term as dictator (439 BC) to put down a conspiracy of Spurius Maelius, who supposedly was planning to become king. He was nominated by his old friend and relative, Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus, consul of the year. Maelius was killed immediately when the Master of the Horse was sent to bring him to trial and the incipient coup perished with him. Once more he resigned his commission.

Within his lifetime Cincinnatus became a legend to the Romans. Twice granted supreme power, he held onto it for not a day longer than absolutely necessary. The high esteem in which Cincinnatus was held by his compatriots is best illustrated with an anecdote toward the very end of his life. One of his sons was tried for military incompetence. He was defended by none other than the great Capitolinus, who simply asked the jury, if the accused was convicted, who would go to tell the aged Cincinnatus the news. The son was acquitted. The jury couldn’t bring itself to break the old man’s heart.

fair enough, you may have some first hand information that i do not. in the other thread i addressed tito though...he murdered the chetniks and mihailovic, as well as many in the religious community..basically anyone who opposed him...then when he finally had enough support he softened up a bit

im part serbian, and have spent a lot of time in slovenia.

i actually ate at one of tito's favorite mom and pop restaurants in slovenia. the same family cooks the food there now that did back then. great food.

edit to add; i just think many of that generation were brainwashed into irrational nationalism. tito put out ridiculous propaganda slandering mihailovic and used his own family to shyt on him, yet mihailovic has been recognized by allied forces as an international war hero. just because mihailovic wanted a more delayed and cautionary attack against the nazi's, tito slandered his name and convinced the people that he was collaborating with them. tito did not have to kill the chetniks and mihailovic...they met on numerous occasions trying to negotiate a proper alliance, but tito was a power hungry communist. mihailovic wanted unity sans tyranny and tito wanted nothing of the sort.
