If we end democracy, it doesn't matter. Dictators with good policies are just dictators - and historically, many have used their supposed beneficence and wisdom to justify themselves. And of course, who is to disagree with their policies - you're not allowed to.

And on top of that, looking around the world, there is no doubt what form of government correlates with good policy - power in the people's hands has by far the best record. And who can legitimately take it from us and impose their preferences on what the people want?
