Is A Dictatorship The Only Way To Achieving A Just Society ?

Show by Eden Ehioghae
Welcome back to The Things You Can’t Touch - a philosophy podcast where we unpack the ideas that shape our politics, our morality, and the systems we live under. In this episode, we ask a provocative and uncomfortable question... Democracy is often treated as the moral default, but is it always effective ? What happens when democratic systems fail to produce justice ? Could a “great” or benevolent dictator ever be justified ? Or does absolute power inevitably corrupt ? This is not about endorsing extreme positions. It is about stress-testing ideas and asking difficult questions without flinching. Throughout this conversation, we explore: 00:00 - Intro 01:22 - Is A Dictatorship The Only Way To Achieving A Just Society ? 03:05 - Justice 06:00 - Ideal Theory 08:00 - Religion 09:43 - Who Determines That ? 12:04 - A Great Dictator 15:15 - Education Is A Privilege 16:52 - We Don’t Need A Dictator 20:00 - Epistocracy 24:19 - I’m Better Than You 25:42 - Machiavelli 28:00 - Democracy 31:49 - Dictatorship Is A Step To Democracy 35:33 - Capitalism 36:45 - Is A Dictatorship Intrinsic To Our Nature ? 42:20 - Is A Benevolent Dictator Even Possible ? 44:35 - Dictatorships In Politics 47:39 - Is A Dictatorship Ethical 49:39 - Outro As always, make sure to keep up with our amazing guest !
