Lubavitcher Rebbe and fascist propaganda techniques

In conversation today a person suggested that perhaps Ramash was justified in using fascist and communist propaganda tactics because his goal was supreme.

Any person who says something like that never lived under the regimes. The end justifies means position have been refuted by the millions murdered in the name of revolution. Till his very last moment a lot of people gave Ramash a benefit of a doubt, perhaps he had something up his sleeve that could justify the ideological abuse. But he had nothing up his sleeve. I repeat the king was naked all the time. Therefore his use of brainwashing and personal insensitivity to others is pure selfish indulgence in the name of indulgence or schizoid mania. There is no any excuse.

People counter that perhaps it was worth it in the name of the “saved souls”. Statistically the movement made no impact on assimilation. If one takes position that a soul is like a world one can counter with numerous souls that were destroyed and trampled by the apparatchiks, indeed like an entire world.
