Carl Schmitt, the Nazis' favorite legal thinker:
"For Schmitt, a strong dictator could embody the will of the people more effectively than any legislative body, as it can be decisive, whereas parliaments inevitably involve discussion and compromise:
“If the constitution of a state is democratic, then every exceptional negation of democratic principles, every exercise of state power independent of the approval of the majority, can be called dictatorship.”
States must rule, and rule must be exercised decisively. For Schmitt, every government capable of decisive action must include a dictatorial element within its constitution. Thus, in "Die Diktatur," we find Schmitt's judgement that dictatorships can be more meaningfully democratic than democracies. "
