Political idiologists/philosophers surrounding Hitler did purport within their own circles that indeed people need to be mislead in order to be led. One of those has been teaching exactly that in a few US universities. Amongst others he had Paul Wolfowitz as his pupil.

Leo Strauss:

"Those who are fit to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is only one natural right, the right of the superior to rule over the inferior".

"A political order can be stable only if it is united by an external threat, if no external threat exists, then one has to be manufactured."

"Perpetual deception of the citizens by those in power is critical because they need to be led, and they need strong rulers to tell them what's good for them."
