ELI5: Just saw that N. Korea is now a "Monarchy". What is the difference between a monarch and dictator?
gpt
A monarch is a hereditary head of state.

A dictator is someone who rules without democracy, usually with total, or near total, say in how the government is run.

In this way an Absolute Monarch, one who doesn't have laws constraining how they rule, could be said to be a dictator.
