I read Snegov's novel "The Dictator." It is a very interesting piece and quite relevant. The essence is that one man, the hero of the novel, decided to end wars on his planet once and for all. To achieve this, he seized power in his country, won the war, and unified the entire planet. During the war, he saved enemies from epidemics and famine while simultaneously conducting military operations. A Black Tribunal was created—a court without control—and a Sacred Terror was introduced.
But at the same time, he unified the planet, making wars impossible.
And at the end of the novel, he turns himself over to trial, to this very Black Tribunal, accusing himself of committing many small and not-so-small evils for the sake of one great good. He said that the common good is abstract, while evil is concrete for everyone.
And the court sentenced him to be hanged. But a planet-wide referendum acquitted him.
So think about it: where is the good, and where is the evil...
