The CIA admitted they invented the hogwash about Stalin being a dictator, and admitted he was merely the "captain of a team."
The only reason we think of him as a "dictator" here in the West is because anybody that has resisted the West's demands for total prostration is a "dictator." If you want examples of REAL dictators you should look to all of the right-wing egotistic maniacs the U.S. government sponsored from centuries past to the present.
There is a difference between a "dictator" who kills fascists, capitalists, monarchists, slavers and saboteurs trying to actively destroy a system that is saving and uplifting hundreds of millions of lives, and an ACTUAL dictator who kills twice that number in women, children, socialists, racial minorities, sexual minorities, religious minorities, while plundering the country and essentially enslaving their own populace.
