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.

In the 60s people still believed the nazis were efficient and good at economy

[–] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Maybe he was the 24th century equivalent of a Paradox gamer and had only be exposed to the ideology through the lens of needing to be competent enough to not immediately collapse and make playing half the available countries boring as hell.

plus you have a bunch of extra wars, the post-atomic horror, and a few hundred years distance. entirely possible (khan lore is sparse) that nazis aren't even the worst thing anymore.
