    Arthur Miller once said, “ever since Stalin and the Nazis, reality has transcended fiction;” through this he meant that since these extremely horrible events, the world has changed and anything is possible. Fiction books show horrible leaders who hope to create a perfect world by killing anyone who is different from their perfect image. However, Stalin and Nazi were not the start of this ideology because people have been killing others who are different long before them, such as during the Colonization Era. The colonizers were killing the indigenous people who were unlike them. Therefore, Stalin and the Nazis were not the start of this ideology, but they were the start of the world realizing how awful people can be.…

Stalin’s work camps were much different, focusing on building factories, where he forced peasants to become workers in these factories.

    One similarity between the two was the difficulties and hardships each country had to go through which ultimately led to their power increasing. For Stalin, the Soviet Union was always in a state of civil war before his dictatorship, first the October Revolution, then the February Revolution, and even after Lenin took over the government, there were still many incidents of civil fighting going on in Russia. Not only that, but they always had a shortage of food and even after many attempts with the previous Romanov Czars, most couldn’t find many warm water ports. For Hitler, Germany was in a state of total ruin, due to the Treaty of Versailles which caused the entire country to experience Hyper-Inflation, where the cost of simple living items were incredibly high, making the currency (Marks) worthless. To make matters worse, Germany lost all of its colonies, and had to a pay heavily in war reparations.…

    Martin Luther King Jr. had the same preliminary traits as Joseph Stalin. They both had the charisma to lead thousands upon thousands of devotees, as well as the persuasiveness to coax said followers to carry out the needed actions to sustain their movement. The determination, intelligence and directness were foundations upon which both men built their party, so what is the difference between the two? King cared for the common good, while Stalin was only interested in power for the sake of having it. The distinction between these two motivators is the difference between a leader and a dictator.…

And is a person still charismatic once we know them intimately or is charisma reserved to distant leaders? All these questions lead us to a positive connotation of the word “charisma”: the charismatic person is impressive in its speeches and the image it leaves in the audience’s mind.…

    Two of the greatest men in modern history, Otto von Bismarck and Adolf Hitler were determined to transform Germany into a great power. Despite being Prussian, Bismarck was nonetheless driven to unify Germany due to the fear of liberal ideology in a fragmented Germany. In essence, Bismarck was violent and would not stop at anything until his goals were realized with the eventual formation of a German state. Meanwhile, Adolf Hitler, an Austrian, sought to rid the nation of any race that was not “pure,” creating a utopian society based upon his radical ideology. Like Bismarck, Hitler was close-minded and would always go with his instinct, regardless of what was truly in the best interest of the masses.…

    Theodore Roosevelt once wisely said, “I believe that the more you know about the past, the better you are prepared for the future.” Perhaps this is why oftentimes authors reflect upon past events in their writing. By putting their own twist upon history, they are teaching us all valuable lessons and educating us about how we can avoid making the same mistakes as we did in the past. J.K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, did just this by modeling her character, the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, after Adolf Hitler, perhaps one of the world’s most malevolent dictators. Throughout the Harry Potter series, we can see many parallels between the respective rises to power of Lord Voldemort and Adolf Hitler in post World War I Germany.…
