Dictators are almost always radical.
As a rule they tear down, or kill all of the people who oppose them. Which leads to a radical shifting of institutions in a country, to such a degree that post dictator, the places almost never revert to a state that resembles what they were like pre-dictator.
Dictators consistently alter the course of history for the places they rule.

I understand that you are saying that as we know the results, these things are not radical. I disagree, known results can be very radical.
