Was he a brutal dictator, or was he (somehow) not?

He was a fucking horrible and evil piece of shit and a complete nutjob dictator responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and I'm pretty sure he suppressed communists and revolutionary movements.

I'm also pretty sure that he only helped the USSR and USSR-affiliated communist movements, because he received money from selling them guns, and he was a thorn in Britain's side.

He was a two-faced douchebag, and he only somewhat came to his senses after the damage had been done, and only because consequences caught up to him.
