    Hitler and Putin also lifted a lot of people out of poverty and addressed terrible economies. They provided stability.

    That in no way however means that they are supported by people who want to eliminate poverty.

      The thing is those examples you gave really are not comparable to the massive and sustained economic growth China has experienced since their economic reforms in the late 80s. Putin has only overseen a modest economic recovery following the disaster that was economic shock therapy in the 90s. As for Hitler, he provided the German economy with whatever you would call the exact opposite of stability.
