As I commence reading, I'm continually reminded of an old Star Trek episode called Patterns of Force in which some kind of Federation scholar named Gill uses Hitlerian Fascism to turn around some impoverished planet.
From Wiki:
Gill is barely coherent, but explains that he never meant for any of this to get out of control. He instituted Hitler's Natinal [sic] Socialism upon the lawless Ekosians because he believed that it is the most efficient system of government ever devised [emph. mine]. He explains he only wanted to bring order to the people of Ekos, and it worked until Melakon gained control, and took it one step further to rid the planet of Zeons as Hitler tried to annihilate the Jews. Kirk tells Gill that he must recall the invasion fleet headed to Zeon.
"Zeon," subtle. I checked the index but did not see a Star Trek reference. Given the author's (and my) proclivities, I was disappointed.
