The issue with autocracy is it has far more power to make the world a better place, or a worse place, and a good leader does not guarantee another good leader when one dies. If there were very strong plans in place to transition to a form of government with some checks in it? Sure, I’d be more than happy to let a genuinely good and intelligent person (read: a person who agrees with my beliefs and morals) have control for awhile, the country would greatly benefit from it.
