The antonym given for dictatorship was: democracy

#5 JohnQC:

Why did the dictionary leave out communism and bolshevism from the list of synonyms? Inquiring minds want to know.

#6 With the economy still not recovered, continued unemployment, and the financial fallout from all the bailouts still not fully realized, we will all be poor and qualifying for Medicaid or unemployment benefits. How do you tax the rich when wealth has been destroyed?

#7 GolfBravoUSMC. I don't know why. It was an internet dictionary for synonyms and antonyms--I think the first one picked up in a google search. I would agree that the dictionary is too limited in that it doesn't include communism and bolshevism. A dictatorship is a dictatorship by any name. I found it interesting that the only antonym given was democracy. Our freedoms are very precious no matter who tries to squelch them. They have come at a dear price as you well know.
