If you could choose one person to be World Dictator...

...who would it be? (not yourself)

I might choose Elon Musk, tbh. Not sure how skilled at politics he'd be though.

You couldn't have said it better....

Musk was the person I've been keeping my eye on for a while to replace Dooku as my Sith Master

Me obviously.

Ghengis Khan
Alexander the Great
Hannibal
Oda Nobunaga

That one pope that had a bunch of orgies for people and gave prizes to the people who did the most banging.

Alex Ferguson he will put people in the right places for mankind to be winners.

Barack Obama, living.
Teddy Roosevelt, historically.

Teddy Roosevelt was revolutionary in his day, but by our standards he's terribly racist. Between that and his imperialist leanings, I wouldn't dare install someone like him as dictator of the entire world. Nor Obama, given his abhorrent record on the drone strikes and other things.

I'm not sure any US President in history would be good for this sort of thing. If I had to pick one, maybe Grover Cleveland or Rutherford Hayes or someone like that.

I’d be good w. both my choices. They were firm but fair.

You being a dictator, the words racist and shits like that doesn’t matter right? In my book at least.

I vote for Genghis Khan. One man created the Worlds Largetst Empire of all Time.

@SquallX — I'm sure it'd be insignificant to him. The point was that I was interested in picking someone who's good for humanity, and I didn't think picking someone who happened to be a white supremacist as well as the virtues of imperialism and gunboat diplomacy was a good thing for humanity, especially in this day and age.

as well as a believer in the virtues*

Janusz Korwin Mikke for the lulz.

@SquallX, My book, too. Same w. Obama/the drone strikes.

Also, lol at SunRazer going from describing Teddy Roosevelt as ‘terrbly racist’ to ‘white supremacist’ to accentuate his point.

I love these occasional forays into the GDF. Always a hoot.

Truth is I can't think of a single person who would be a good choice. And for me, a good choice is someone who would never go from the "good" kind of dictator to the bad kind. There are people who would take longer to get there than others, but they'd all probably get there in the end.

In Musk we trust.
