Virtuoso charisma is [was] the leadership [rulership] rationale in both the Soka Gakkai and Nazi Germany. Ikeda is the king of Soka because of charisma, not wisdom nor compassion. Hitler is another example. Hitler's and Ikeda's propaganda, photo ops, and even aphorisms are quite similar. Ikeda, however, is smarter than Hitler. He obtained wealth, power, and a civilization without ever firing a shot. On the other hand, all the truly great masters of Buddhism [Nagarjuna, Tientai. Vasubandhu, Tientai, Dengyo, Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin] assumed "rulership" through the Law or legal rulership.
