- Roman dictator .
- Dictator was a political office of the Roman Republic.
- A legal innovation of the Roman Republic, the dictator (Latin for "one who dictates (orders)") — also known as the magister populi ("master of the peoples") — was an extraordinary magistrate (magistratus extraordinarius) whose function was to perform extraordinary tasks exceeding the authority of any of the ordinary magistrates. The Roman Senate passed a senatus consultum authorizing the consuls to nominate a dictator, who was the sole exception to the Roman legal principles of collegiality (multiple tenants of the same office) and responsibility (being legally able to be held to answer for actions in office); there could never be more than one dictator at any one time for any reason, and no dictator could ever be held legally responsible for any action during his time in office for any reason. The dictator was the highest magistrate in degree of precedence (praetor maximus) and was attended by 24 lictors.
- The most famous type is the dictator rei gerendae causa, who was appointed in times of military emergency for six months or for the duration of the emergency, whichever period was shorter. This dictator held absolute military and civil power in the State, and was obligated to appoint as his deputy a master of the horse (magister equitum). When the dictator left office, the office of master of the horse immediately ceased to exist. ...
- After the falling out of Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla, the latter marched on Rome and had himself appointed to an entirely new office, dictator rei publicae constituendae causa, which was functionally identical to the dictatorate rei gerendae causa except that it lacked any time limit. ...
- He was appointed dictator rei gerendae causa for a full year in 46 BC and then designated for nine consecutive one-year terms in that office thereafter, functionally becoming dictator for ten years. A year later, this pretense was discarded altogether and the Senate voted to make him dictator perpetuus (usually rendered in English as "dictator for life", but properly meaning "perpetual dictator").
- The office was later offered to Caesar Augustus, who prudently declined it, and opted instead for tribunician power and consular imperium without holding any office other than pontifex maximus and princeps senatus — a politic arrangement which left him as functional dictator without having to hold the controversial title or office itself.

- The Great Dictator: The Chaplin Collection.
- " More than forty years later, biographer David Robinson in Chaplin: His Life and Art wrote, "Quite apart from any particular merits of the film, The Great Dictator remains an unparalleled phenomenon, an epic incident in the history of mankind. ... What is it about The Great Dictator that prompts such hosannas? After all, although it's generally considered Chaplin's last great work and was his biggest money-maker despite being banned in parts of Europe and South America, it's not the most smoothly crafted of his ambitious and personal feature films. ... Instead, The Great Dictator, while being hilarious often enough to satisfy strictly on the funny-bone level, aimed to be something a great deal more than just a comic lampoon. ... The Great Dictator opens with a simple declaration: "This is the story of the period between two world wars an interim during which insanity cut loose, liberty took a nose dive, and humanity was kicked around somewhat. ...

But Chaplin was clear that the barber is not the Tramp and The Great Dictator is not a Tramp movie. ... Secondly (and more memorably), Chaplin plays the crazed dictator Hynkel. It's in this savage and undisguised parody of Hitler that The Great Dictator achieves its immortality. ...

Each of Chaplin's pinnacle features The Kid, The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator contributed at least one of cinema's all-time indelible images. In Dictator that comes with the inspired scene where Hynkel, alone in his palatial Chancellery, dances a graceful ballet with a globe of Planet Earth. When the balloon-globe eventually pops in his face, the great dictator cries like a spoiled child.

- The Dictators Library .
- The superego section of this parodic library is to house official propaganda books, for the most part written by the dictator Enver Hoxha himself, who, at the age of seventy, realized that he was a universal thinker and began penning theoretical works, incursions into every field of knowledge. ...

of philosophy, the tree
of knowledge, which would have been damaging for the dictators subjects, as thinking was dangerous. Thinking had to remain taboo, sequestered by the dictator, at least in the material form of books, as, technically, thinking in its immaterial form could not be controlled. In other words, by imprisoning a book in the R division of the library, and the books double in his personal library, the dictator managed as if by black magic to imprison thought. ...
- As these appear in the ego section, they must also be found in their inverse mirroring in the id section, the dictators library.
