ITT: benevolent dictators

Of all the Fascist dictators, Franco was a very nice man.
I think equivalently v. nice man on the left side would have to be Hoxha, he left the people nice bunkers to play in

Franco was an accidental tyrant, unlike many who seek out high office Franco had it thrust upon him by the deaths of those who stood before him in the line of succession. It seems to be axiomatic that anyone who seeks absolute power is a raging cunt, and that benevolent dictators are invariably those who more or less stumbled into power.

Vargas, Péron and Pinochet are probably the best leaders to ever come from this God forsaken continent.

Not saying that Perón did what you attribute to Vargas (saving his country) by the way, just that he seems to have some points in common with Vargas.

the libyan dictator guy who gave his people free college and stuff before hillary had him killed

A really fascinating man. Would it even be possible to gain as much power in an American State today? I can't see the National government letting it happen, even if it was used benevolently like he did.

There is single one and obviously only Roman can have fasci to begin with.

And by the way, in your opinion, how was Franco more nice than Mussolini? He didn't do a thing to save Jews from National Socialists like Duce and Fascists.

He wasn't benevolent at all, he killed shitload of his countrymen.

Plus his legacy might be in ashes in a few years if Catalonia and the Basques go independent.

I agree with these , especially Metaxas, who despite being hated by leftists in Greece today, showed great strength of character by opposing Italy. He saved Greece's dignity.

Salazar would have ranked above all others, if it was not for the colonial debacle, which like De Gaulle he greatly mishandled. Other than that he managed to keep his country safe during WWII, and did not use much violence against opposition.

Franco was not the only fucking choice to lead the Nationalists, Davila, Mola and Quiepo de Llano were all in the running. Franco purposefully did nothing to save Primo de Rivera and when the Republicans did kill Rivera, Franco did the truth from everyone till after the war. He also arrested Hedilla, Rivera's successor, and forced Fal Conde into exile to neuter the Carlist leadership.

Franco very much intentionally walked into the dictatorship after Sanjurjo died.
