I agree with @dril that:

One does not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to Hitler".

Yeah, when someone is literally a Nazi (I hope in 2026 we can all agree that at least Hitler was one), it's not really surprising that they would prefer a dictatorship over a parliament full of elected people.

Over the year, "a parliament full of elected people" has lost more and more of its meaning (with regard to original intent)

Regardless, this is less about dictatorship and more about personal responsibility and accountability

A solution, perhaps, would be to ensure that such decisions are not anonymous and that, if the decisions had bad consequences, then the related people would be accountable

Of course, this would make the politic business less attractive. Would that be a bad idea ?
