A '''dictatorship''' is a [[political]] system of [[government]] in which a single person (the [[dictator]]) or [[collective]] committee ([[politburo]]) has absolute [[power]], because no legal process exists by which the leadership can be removed from office against their will. Many ancient non-[[monarchial]] systems were effectively dictatorships, usually in emergency situations, although the term is often used only in the modern context, where [[democracy]] exists as an alternative.
