Great distinctions.

Agree with everything except having benevolence anywhere near dictatorship.

I don't think it can stay there. But there have been benevolent monarchs (including those who gave up their rule and imposed self-government) and I'd argue Singapore has been largely benevolent. Again, not benevolent to all because of the lack of a constitution.
