"What good fortune for governments that the people do not think"

This quote by Adolf Hitler is a reflection of his authoritarian and overbearing views on federal government. He thought that it was helpful for governments to have control over individuals, which it was an advantage that the people did not think for themselves. He was suggesting that if the people were permitted to believe for themselves, they would be more likely to challenge the government and its policies. This quote is a tip of the risks of authoritarianism and the importance of permitting individuals to believe on their own and reveal their opinions. It is a reminder that governments must not be enabled to have total control over individuals, and that individuals should be enabled to think and express themselves easily.
