Obviously (now that I look at it again) it was wordplay, so I think I'll delete the last part of the post as to not offend anyone further. I've never been good with morality arguments. This is going to get anywhere, as no one really knew hitler and then wrote about it, so arguing about his morals, doesn't really make much sense. Sorry about that royalty with cheese, but it seemed you were implying that if hitler had succeeded, the world would be a perfect place.
No, I said that if Hitler had succeeded,
Hitler would have thought that the world would have been a perfect place.
Evil persons do not think that their evil ways are good. Evil persons know that their evil actions are evil. They simply don't care.
A person who do evil actions because he think his actions are good is a good person. A person who do evil because he thinks his actions are goodand cannot be convinced otherwise because of his oratory skills may be a disaster for the rest of humanity, but is still a good person.
Good is not nice, Good is not heroic, Good is not just. Being a good person is doing what you think is right, regardless if what you think is right is in fact, right or wrong.
that was only 60 years ago, massive remnants of that school of thought would have been present in our society in the past 10 to 20 years.
Today, WWII is singlehandedly the most culturally significative event in history. WWII changed everything. The holocaust, the nuclear bombs, the facism. WWII changed everything so thoroughly, it would make perfect sense to study modern history starting from WWII.
After WWII, philosophy was never the same. It proved once and for all that
Rousseau was wrong. It hammered the point home that innovations can be used to kill even better than to improve life.
And then, there was denazification. The planned removal of all traces of the nazi ideology. I don't know how it was made in details, but this is the reason why you can't legally buy
Mein Kampf in most countries. It's no surprise there are no mainstream remnants of the Nazi ideology, hard work have been made to demonize it and make it look clearly evil and repulsive.
And yet, eugenism still exist, racism (and antisemitism) still exist, There are even neo-nazis groups.
