	Comments:	i don't think the wasei tag belongs. this usage doesn't exist in english, but i think it's clearly just a take-off on the first sense, not a fresh japanese combination of english words. also, the 'one-man car' sense belongs as well. i've definitely seen this in real life as an abbreviation of ワンマンカー

	Comments:	"dictator" is not wrong but I wanted to make clear the usage is mostly figurative, i.e. "独裁的な人" (daijs) rather than "独裁者" _ I think "one-man" should be one sense, and I don't think it needs much clarification.
