    What if head government positions in general are attractive to corrupt, power hungry dictators?

    The Weimar Republic wasn’t communist, and it got a corrupt, power hungry dictator.

    The United States isn’t communist, and it’s dealing with a corrupt, power hungry dictator.

    Israel isn’t communist, and it’s dealing with a corrupt, power hungry dictator.
