TheYusuuf,
Your argument looks fair until one examines things more clearly then it comes undone.
You have listed states that collapsed but without stating the truth you just blamed their totalitarian leaders because that's what the Western media has fed you.
Let me remain you that all those states collapsed not because of internal unrests but because of external forces who often infiltrated the mainstream society.
Libya was destroyed by the US and its allies as they did in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia.
These countries were enjoying steady growth and many of them were debt free and enjoyed things you do not even have in your ageing England, where marfish is the only escape from reality.
In 1967 Colonel Gaddafi inherited one of the poorest nations in Africa; however, by the time he was assassinated, Gaddafi had turned Libya into Africa’s wealthiest nation. Libya had the highest GDP per capita and life expectancy on the continent. Less people lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands.
Libya offered its citizen interest-free loans, housing subsidies, several grands (USD) to mothers who had a baby, money to start business, employment was higher than UK, zero debt, free healthcare and so on.
Iraq wasn't much behind.
Somalia enjoyed many things too and today I can see that you enjoy writing your Somali. It would not have been possible without Siad Barre's decisiveness and drive to get the nomads to get things done. BTW his Bar ama Baro campaign is said to be one of the biggest and most successful literacy campaigns in the modern history. Literacy sky rocketed.
What literacy has Somaliland achieved in 26 years under the Habrocracy?
You complain about Ethiopia but 70% of the higher education in SL is offered by Ethiopian institutions because your state cannot create any. University of Hargeisa is some what the only institution and that was donated by individuals such as Fowzia Yusuf Haji Aden. To this day it's limbing and mind you the campus itself is the structure left behind by Siad Barre. Your habrocracy has not added anything except a hall or two donated by Dahabshiil.
Totalitarian is great system but those in favor of democracy gained the upper hand during the industrial age and have been attacking the other alternatives. However today things are changing. The West and their democracy are in disarray. The US is re-counting votes, claims they were hacked by a Totalitarian state. EU is close to collapsing with many deciding to exit.
All while China goes strength to strength--------a perfect example of Totalitarianism with capitalism.
Don't forget Al Assad still stands and sons of Totalitarianism are fighting back.
Your own little state sits shadow to the Totalitarian Ethiopia. The problem with Ethiopia is that the market is not opened. But it is still creating the most millionaires/middle class citizens in Africa while Habrocracy creates more poverty. Even I have doubts if DP will ever show up.
Even Djibouti benefits from its totalitarianism rule.

Totalitarianism is must especially in the infancy of a state or development phase. It needs at least good 50-100 years of uninterupted social progress and decisive decision making mechanism.
Once you reach a state where literacy is high, human capital strong and social equality is adequate, you can start putting a civilian form of government on the tri-cycle.
