A country can either have a democracy or a dictatorship. Unless you know a 3rd option, I would love to hear it.

And as history has proven many times, dictatorships never end well.

That as may be, the issue here is freedom of speech.

Exactly. And freedom of speech is very important in a democracy, and unwanted in a dictatorship.

"Xism is not good or bad; it's just a way to organize power". Excuse me I gotta puke.

Do you have a better alternative?

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time".

Democracy is one of the few things to be an absolute good thing. It have many flaws, but still I would't live in a dictatorship like the one established by URSS or Chinese Communist Party, where you could easily disappear if you say something troublesome for people in power. This is not just power organization, it's plain survival.
