    most dictators love their country that their actions, though we may say are evil, was because of their love for their country.
    Perhaps they were only evil in history because they were defeated and painted as so by the victors.
    But there's a dictator that is considered good because he was not defeated - and dictatorship with iron fist was necessary at that time - Lee Kuan Yew. Looks what his dictatorship accomplished for Singapore.

    • @Pootycat8359
      @Pootycat8359 Місяць тому

      Yes, MANY dictators believed they were doing GOOD. Hitler believed he was building a "Thousand Year Reich," of peace, plenty, and technological advancement. Unfortunately, he ALSO adopted the principle, favored by far too many political leaders, that "the end justifies the means," and his glorious Utopia wouldn't include certain people, like Slavs & Jews. Even Pol Pot thought he was doing the right thing, by exterminating Cambodians he considered genetically defective. To find truly EVIL dictators, one must go to the deepest cesspools of the "Third World," for men like "Papa Doc" Duvalier, who had a dungeon in the basement of his National Palace, where he personally tortured prisoners, or the "Emperor" Bokasa, who beat to death two dozen school children, because they didn't like a school uniform his brother had designed.
