"What luck for rulers that men do not think"

This quote by Adolf Hitler is a reflection of his authoritarian and oppressive views. He is suggesting that it is lucky for those in power that the majority of people do not think on their own. He believes that if people were to think for themselves, they would be able to recognize the oppressions of the ruling class and challenge their authority. This quote is a suggestion of the value of critical thinking and the power of the people to challenge oppressive systems. It is a cautioning to those in power that if they do not treat their residents relatively, they will become toppled. It is likewise a pointer to individuals that they have the power to believe on their own and to challenge the status quo. By believing for themselves, they can create a more just and fair society.
