I think it's pretty disingenuous to pretend like "true believers" and "blinded by utopian visions" are legitimate talking points when you consider that at the time most countries were recovering from one or two world wars and there was a literal standing army of Nazis with known explicit goals to eradicate and/or dominate Jews and Socialists. This isn't "you gotta crack some eggs to make an omelet", this is "everybody is cracking eggs and you're next". If anything, you're expressing a heavily idealized version of a very complex, difficult, and dangerous time.
