That is an insult to opressed people everywhere, be it Iraq, Palestine, Tibet or somewhere else. Claiming that there is tacit consent is a cowardly way of sneaking out of the responsibility to oppose totalitarian rulers, regardless of their -ism.

The state of opinion doesn't mean anything as long as the rulers have enough weapons and the ruthlessness to use them. Now that might not last forever, but deeming by human history centuries is no problem.

The challenge then is for you to name one case where a non-democratic government is better.
And no, I don't give a damn about the list rules, so I won't include insults.
