    In open source community there is a term called “Benevolent dictator for life”, such as the creator of Python programming language Guido van Rossum or creator of Linux Linus Torvalds.

    In politics and corporate environment I would agree with you though.

      In the open source world, if that benevolent dictator no longer acts in the best interest of the community, forking the project is possible. Not exactly the same with politics.
