I'm paraphrasing Zizek, but he said "the left needs a leader that controls executive power" and he's right. There's a difference between a benevolent dictator and a tyrant. Trump is a tyrant, in which he yields his power to prosecute and persecute. A benevolent dictator uses their power as a force for good, think FDR and whatnot.
