That’s a really “odd” interpretation of Cromwell, a man called the first class revolutionary by Leon Trotsky. (He meant that as a compliment.)
He forcibly dissolved Parliament when it would not concede to his demands and replaced it with a group of his followers. And when they were sufficiently deferential, he sacked them to. He committed mass murder of civilians in Scotland and Ireland and sent countless Irish to slavery in the New World.
He turned the Army on the Levellers when they demanded religious toleration and universal suffrage.
But yeah, he’s unpopular today because he banned dancing on Sundays.
If you (heart) despotic genociders, he was really the best.
