History Professor Answers Dictator Questions
Early on, Joseph Goebbels, who later became Hitler's propaganda chief, he realized that Hitler was terrible in a studio, he was wooden. He needed the energy of crowds to come alive, and that's why Goebbels hit on this idea of having rallies nonstop.

Yet more clear parallels between dictators and Trump. I wonder when he is going to pull off the blindfold for his supporters?

@onsy_xx says, "Pinochet was evil, but he made Chile what it is today.
Benevolent dictator? (Nah)
Benevolent dictator?" I study dictators. I do not believe any dictator is benevolent because the definition of a dictator is someone who represses the popular will. There's no voting in a classic dictatorship. There's no free press. If you are an opponent of the regime, you'll be sent to jail or killed. That's not, to me, the definition of benevolence.
