The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

I think that Goebbels does not clearly define his term, but the reader can understand that the strong dictators are the ones that are best suited to rule the people.  

I can cite a specific detail from the text to support my answer. It would be the paragraph that says "A minority, if it includes the best, will turn the German fate."

-I think Goebbel's real passion here is to defend the idea of "rule by the best." However, he takes his chances to critique democracy.

A specific example of his language and rhetoric would be this: "The people have the choice to live under the open dictatorship of the courageous or to die under the hypocritical democracy of cowards."
