One that most likely would be dictatorial in its founding but however, once the likes of education have been established with an institution, it would wither away for a real democracy. The numbers do not lie, Putin came in power in Russia when it was in chaos, however, the numbers show he brought in order in comparison to before. Same can be said with countries like Singapore and South Korea. With Russia, they will come a time when Putin is no longer, and it will be more democratic. In addition, is another African country overlooked at times, Rwanda, which is under the leadership of Paul Kagame. This small country’s development after the brutal genocide of 1994, can be attributed to his strong leadership in bringing the country together and not being divisive.

Demagoguery is what you get when the education system is weak, like in South Africa with the rise of parties like the EFF or the fact that the ANC is still in power.

Nonetheless, South Africa has strong institution and simply needs to strengthen its educational system. But for countries like Rwanda after the genocide the strongest leadership is first needed. It is why the ancient Romans elected a dictator (something that was hated and only done as last resort) in the senate in times of chaos.
