The Third Reich's 'proud legacy' of 'forward thinking' in promoting 'ethnic purity.'
Joseph Stalin's 'proud legacy' of 'forward thinking' in promoting 'the glorious revolution.'
Mao Tse-Tung's 'proud legacy' of 'forward thinking' in promoting 'the Great Leap.'
See? If you just coat it in noble-sounding rhetoric, it sounds a lot less like tyranny.
Bingo.
