Dictators don't work alone. One being can't just bend a nation to their will; they needed people to believe in their cause and further their power. And once it's in motion, anyone that says otherwise gets silenced.

Nah, you don't even know it happened, because well -- it didn't. All we know about the queerat hierarchy in the Robber Fly society is that they're a democracy. That's all we've been given. It has been articulated here (or in an episode thread) before but there is no credible reason for the Robber Flies to pretend to be a democracy. Seeing as they are the only faction to employ it, what they make of it is what it becomes in the eyes of the others.
Calling Yakomaru a dictator at this point in time is no different than saying that Tomiko is a witch that eats dead children to preserve her youth. It goes against everything we've come know about the series and could really only work if the writer employed the first rule of lazy writing (i.e. lol I lied).
