This brings up the epistemological question of whether we would even know that we are living under a dictatorship. If it is true that we are so far from the political, I doubt that we'd even notice until it was over.
Then again, in a depoliticised environment, a dictatorship might not be necessary. There'd be no effective resistance anyway. I think that describes the situation we are in now. It may even be worse than a dictatorship.
