Well, depends on the dictatorship. Anything can be worth rebelling over if it isn't working out too well. Like in the US where our "Democratic Republic" has resulted in a government that ignores the constitution and big businesses that profit from regulations that destroy small businesses, pretty soon people might start getting a bit rebellious. Of course, they still haven't taken away our guns, so that may, ironically, keep us at bay at the moment. The most government hating people pretty much won't get up in arms until government tries to take away their guns. That'll be the final straw. So really, a dictatorship would be worth rebelling over if all the drugs were illegal, people had to pay their government and follow regulations in order to start a business, and their weapons were taken away from them.

I would usually say yes, but for the sake of argument Ill say No. I guess it really depends. You should have been a little bit more specific in your question. Dictatorship by default is not necessarily a bad thing. There is a HUGE difference between a DICTATOR and a TYRANT. The citizens of a nation can live prosperously under a dictator, if he has has the people's and nation's interest at heart. On the other hand a TYRANT usually only cares about himself, and rules with an Iron Fist. If the people are living good under a Dictator why rebel? To rebel just because he is a dictator doesn't make sense. Side: No
