What about Stalin who purged rivals and sent out hit men with ice picks to take out his critics?

Purging fascists and Capitalists from the party is a good thing. Purging did not necessarily mean executing, it meant forcing out of the Party.

Or Xi Jinping who's been made President for life or whatever recently?

Mind sharing what you mean, "or whatever?" Are you arguing using facts that came to you in a dream?

Or Fidel Castro who basically led the country from the revolution until he was too old to run it?

Does getting re-elected make you a dictator? Lmao.

The DPRK which looks like a monarchy in all but name?

In what way?

No one says dictators run whole countries literally by themselves but they do dictatorial things to make sure people only loyal to them can have power, their word is law without going through other checks or balances by the people, like some popularly elected body or something.

Do you have evidence that there were not popularly elected bodies making all of the decisions, and that leaders of AES states were never contested successfully?
