But Hitler was right and did whatever he did, not saying he did or did not participate in doing the Reichstag fire, for the good of his people. Authoritarianism is necessary for a true leader to accomplish his vision. Look at Putin. Many people disagree with him, his views and his methods, but IMHO his results speak for themselves. A man with a vision holding authority of leadership is all it takes for the success of a nation. The dude doesn't need to be a mega-genius, or perfect in everybody's eyes. Nobody meets that standard.
