putting my hand on the lathe In Dune Messiah, they're going to replace the part where Paul compares himself with Hitler, and have him quote the victims of communism propaganda. (hexbear.net)

Does Hitler even register on the scale 8000 years later after events like the Butlerian Jihad?

The Jihad wasn't originally even a war, that was some bland Skynet ass shit the author's son put in. The Jihad was originally a philosophical reckoning of the dependence on machines humanity was developing and a rejection therein. Dune still has computers and technology far advanced compared to what we have but nothing that thinks like a human.

Sounds like the usual late 60's concern with bureaucracy and standardization.
