I do not believe a single person on this planet could avoid being corrupted by that power. Not a single one.

Yes. See Nazi Germany circa 1941

No

A "good" dictatorship would have to rely on the assumption that the dictator will always use his/her powers for good, which is unrealistic. We're all human.

What about Francisco Franco? The Catalans hate him but otherwise maybe not so bad after the Civil War.

Of course. Enlightened absolutism and benevolent dictatorship have been discussed as viable if not ideal forms of government for years. The problem is that so few men could successfully wield autocratic power benevolently that it's not worth it to consider it as a perpetual solution.

This. It has happened throughout history. But it's not a stable long-term form of government.

dictator is basically synonymous with king, and there have been many good kings.

A dictator, more often than not, will have far fewer checks on his power and authority than a king. I mean, holy shite, English aristocrats and freemen were able to force the Magna Carta in the 13th century. But the English always had more suspicion of their rulers than others.
