I don't understand what you mean. Should dictators/tyrants not influence our view of good and evil?
There can be no "good" without a definition of "evil".

What do you think? Would it be better if people like Hitler and the like would not have existed? Or would it be better if our norm of "good" would be more towards what is "evil" for us now? Or should "good" be more "good"?
Is it good that just over 6 billion people walk this earth? Would it be better if it were 10 billion and those poor sods in all those wars would not have died because "evil" in its current form did not exist?
Would it be better if all people of all countries and religions got along just fine and we could all happilly sing songs around a big campfire?

You should clarify why you believe that the influence of tyranny as a symbol of evil on our social system is a "bad" thing.
