Basically people are just saying that dictatorship is necessarily an undesirable state of affairs without giving reasons.

The OP gave reasons, Alpha.

OK, America. To which I reply - we experience many more power relationships than just the federal government. I gave an example of one that is working out great for me. Another, more common example of a benevolent dictatorship would be parenting. 

I think people aren't actually considering the "benevolent" part.
