At Psychology Today Blogs, Edward Hoffman looks into the minds of despots.
It is a worthwhile read, not only for what it says about the persons mentioned in his post (notably Hitler and Putin), but also for the light it sheds on our own homegrown wannabe despots and their dupes, symps, and fellow travelers.
