And totalitarianism, be it via a dictator or a monarch, is not per se "bad." Some dictators have done better for the populace they govern, than our elected officials do. By "better," I mean that the dictators give the public more freedom than our elected aristocracy and governing class allow.
You're confusing totalitarianism with authoritarianism (at least I hope you are). The latter can be benevolent. The former is always a nightmare.
