Examples of dictators that were/are comparable or worse than the Nazis

[Faklon]

Like I said, the main considerations are body count, torture methods (which is why I included Pinochet, despite the fact he didn't kill that many people) and ideology (Marcos' was a relatively nondescript centre-right one).

Nice, so killing opponents for ideology is worse than killing for no ideology?

(1) In the grand scheme of things, Marcos unlike his neighbour Suharto was not that murderous. (2) What I meant was: to what extent did the dictatorship have a totalitarian and repressive ideology, which I don't think Marcos did especially.

Sorry, I'm trying to understand what evil means.

I don't know the exact the body counts. From what I understand, to you totalitarian ideology is worse/more evil than corruption of an otherwise "centre-right/insert abstract political word" government.

I don't know how an ideology can be considered repressive, how do you know that people can't find freedom under a tolitarian regime? What is freedom?

I don't know how an ideology can be considered repressive, freedom is a personal thing.

The Taliban are an especially prescient example of a totalitarian and repressive ideology - they seek to control practically every last aspect of people's lives, especially women of course.

And how do you know that those people feel repressed?

According to Hegel, self-consciousness can only be considered a unitary social phenomena. Othewirse, people fall under the master-slave dialectic.

Let's consider the totalitarian regime that seeks to awake the self-conciousness of the poeple so master-slave relationships cease to exist. This way, the totalitarian regime not only it is not repressive, but it is actually the only one that can provide true freedom.

A utopia? yes.
Are you politically polarized? yes

That sounds like Jean-Jacques Rousseau's bullshit theories to me.
