Have you defended any dictatorships? If yes, which ones?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Depends what you mean by "defend". It's obviously possible for people to lie about how bad a dictatorship actually is (like, say, baselessly claiming they have WMDs as a pretext to invade). If correcting the record counts as "defending" the dictatorship, then I guess most of us have done so at one point or another. Of course, that's not the same as actually praising it or downplaying its awfulness.
