I agree that Hitler was evil on a scale unlike any other. I also think comparisons should be carefully thought out and not tossed out carelessly. I do disagree with the notion that we should never compare to Hitler and the Nazis. To completely refrain makes them a one off, and treats them as if that could never happen again. I think the tools available to dictators today make the rise of someone or something like that more likely. So I think it is very important that we guard against that, and look carefully at the lessons of history. Again emphasizing we should be careful and not make comparisons callously.

I feel it is a great danger to think in this way. If you disregard the others[0], you may overlook certain important aspects of these evil people - especially the factors that allowed them to gain popularity, to rise to power, and to actually execute their cruel plans. Focusing just on Hitler is myopic.

Hitler is a Saint compared to Stalin and Mao, maybe even the Kims in NK.
