Absolute power corrupts absolutely

When someone appears to be less corrupt, it doesn't necessarily mean they are less evil—it may simply indicate that they lack the power to act on their corrupt intentions. As Lord Acton famously stated, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." History offers powerful examples to support this view. Consider Adolf Hitler in the early 20th century: when he initially rose to power, his actions were comparatively restrained. However, as his power grew,especially after launching World War II and occupying territories such as France.His brutality escalated dramatically, culminating in atrocities like the Holocaust. This illustrates why it is essential to remain vigilant around individuals who seek or wield increasing power, as their true nature often reveals itself when they are no longer restrained by limitations.
