What is the difference between a dictator and comunest?

A dictator is someone who has control of a government and is the sole authority overall all government business - the sole decision-maker over policy, taxes, laws, etc. Another way to describe it (using American concepts) is the consolidation of all the judicial, legislative, and executive powers in the hands of one person.

A dictator is not necessary bad - there exists a concept known as a benevolent dictator (despot) as found in the thriving island nation of Singapore. The important idea here is "how" the person decides to use their authority.
