One is a normal person oppressed by an unfair system.
The other is a tankie doing the oppression.
Oppressing the owners of capital is good, actually. If you don't do it you end up like the US where everyone has to pay them for everything all the time and the police is only there to prevent you from doing anything about it.
By this logic, a monarchy that keeps the aristocracy in line is better than the US democracy. A benevolent dictator is still a dictator.
The problem with a benevolent dictator is that they die eventually, and are replaced by a non-benevolent dictator, or a civil war, or both. Unfortunately it looks like the US democracy might have the same outcome.
