The label of dictatorship by itself is not a meaningful indicator due to the constant redefinition of words by the Liberals. The Liberals had redefined dictatorship to mean absolutism and no 20th century Communist countries use dictatorship to refer to a political system where one people have absolute power. I could also suspect that the Soviets did not realized that the Western European diaspora redefine dictatorship to mean absolutism. The accusation that USSR, other Communist countries, or Non-European diaspora populist government support absolutism is a better indicator that a person either know nothing about the people who they are criticizing or that they are lying. However, I do agree that the US should follow the moral standard that it imposes on non-western European diaspora and remove its nuke, especially when Pax Americana supporters claimed that violence was never the solution. The Liberals like Fukuyama used Cold War as an "example" that "Liberal" pacifism is a better solution than violence to end war.
