No, I am not. By definition you cannot be benevolent in any form if your method of seizing power is to murder your opposition. That's just being a regular dictator.
Yes yes i know thats what you said. I dont agree with that assessment or definition as you called it. I however believe getting rid of bad actors who are purposely evil and harming humanity is a good thing. So then they would still be benevolent to me.
So what you're actually saying is you want a brutal and repressive dictator who murders their opposition who just happens to align politically with your views.
Sorry, that's still not benevolent, it's just a different flavour.
