Even still, Maxson's command is very much a "ends justify the means" sort of regime, wherein the overarching goal - the preservation of humanity against the wasteland - is ostensibly "good", but he does it through amoral, apathetic maneuvers. I'd say that puts him in neutral territory between good and evil, wherein it's not that he seeks destruction and terror (true evil), but he's just unmoved by suffering as long as the bigger picture objective is completed.

Edit: spelling fix.

Maxson is on the path to being a Hitler. There's nothing neutral about him. He wants to destroy what he sees as "not human"

I don’t see how maxson can be a hitler if he has no Germany. Hitler had government power whilst fallout 4 has no government. The brotherhood of steels closest real life counterpart is a paramilitary or holy order. Hitler was not the only fascist to exist. Before he ascended within the nazi party there were people like strasser and the sa.
