This episode was hilarious because the fascist dictator guy is a Federation observer who concluded that the planet he was supposed to neutrally study was on the verge of societal collapse so he decided to intervene and create a hyper authoritarian regime that would guarantee economic development at the cost of personal freedoms but then chose to model this new society on a country that was economically dependent on conquest, lasted for 12 years and ended up being bombed flat from both ends and divided in two.
i never understood the federation guy's logic; how was this supposed to help?
In the 60s people still believed the nazis were efficient and good at economy
People still believe that now too?
Yeah, but like...more. A lot of people involved in the show fought in ww2 and to an extent didn't wanna think all of their friends died fighting incompetent losers
