Thanks for using the d word: dictator. Many Americans probably don't know the definition of 'authoritarian'. It's not only Hitler, it's all the dictators and juntas that have have driven freedom loving people to flee to America over the past century.

The Greek junta (see the film Z). Pinochet (see the film Missing). The Argentinian junta (see the films Los Madres de la Plaza Mayor and The Official Story). The East German secret police (see the film The Lives of Others). And for an American history lesson, see 12 Years a Slave. There are many more excellent films that portray what like is like under a dictatorship.
