I don't really see what argument you're making here, FC. As humans the only real tools wo have to "progress" are rational dialogue and democracy, which, while not perfect and I know you would much rather be under a benevolent dictator (as you've mentioned previously), history has shown time and time again that benevolent dictators soon turn malevolent, or their successors do. On top of that, any sort of dictator, no matter how kind, would be basically impossible in the Information Age.
Theft, murder, and especially murdering leaders/royalty has been around since before civilization as well. Does not compute.
