Plato said it best when talking about the benevolent dictator, so in those cases, it's not the "worse" form of human collaboration. Not everyone follows the labor theory of value.

No, we know it's the worse form of collaboration because dictatorships have never been good systems of government. Does this really need to be stated? That dictatorships are always bad and never good, that people deserve autonomy and freedom, and that we should be molding society to fit the needs of those that actually serve it (the workers)?

This is literally historically wrong, there are many examples to the contrary. If you think any form of government is "always" wrong, I can point you to failed democracies that then prospered in a dictatorial rule too, such as Singapore or South Korea or even China if you want to count that, which have all been basically one party rule to great effect.
