  1. Hitler's own embezzling and kleptomaniacal habits are about as bad as Mobutu's: * He made himself exempt from taxation. * He took "donations" from all the social classes, ostensibly to build cars, but really to build up the military. * He had luxurious villas built for himself and his cronies, funded by taxpayers' money. * He ordered a tax to be placed on his book, Mein Kampf, while also conveniently demanding that it be presented at weddings, graduations, classrooms, libraries, etc., ensuring his own personal wealth. Nazi grift was naked and contemptible, and all with Hitler's blessing.

  2. Actually, Lumumba initially appealed to the West for help, playing on his desire for democracy. But Belgium had already slandered him to the USA and the UN by spitefully claiming he was anti-white, anti-western, and a Communist. That last part became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
