Yes, because they both types of government and they both have some sort of leader.This is Hyusuf's Answer:

No, they're not alike at all. You see, a democracy is ruled by the people and a Dictatorship is ruled by a dictator, who doesn't listen to anyone's opinion. Okay, I admit, they DO have the same sort of leader, but if you were to put that on a test, do you really think that would count as an answer? I have many more differences, because I'm working on the differences AND similarities for an essay. i just don't have time to write them all. I'm having trouble finding similarities!

NO. A dictatorship exists when the government has power by Fiat, military support, or through seizure of authority. A democracy exists when the government has power by popular vote. Necessarily, these two definitions contradict each other, which is why a dictatorship cannot be a democracy or vice versa.
