A lot of them have very moralistic end-goals, but because they are not bound by their morals like good people are, they are willing to have the ends justify the means.
If making the world a utopia in X years requires Y years of death and darkness, so be it in their eyes.
Very much reminds of a quality Marvel story that had Dr. Doom in it. Can't remember what it was called. Dr. Doom may have started off as a giga-cheeselord, but he became a surprisingly developed character with some of the (many) retcons.
The story had some heroes transported to an alternate reality where Dr. Doom had won. The irony was that it really was the utopia that Doom had dreamt of. Had the heroes not been in his way and he got to unleash his personal apocalypse upon the world, the world would have ended up a better place. The people there thought very positively of Doom.
It's interesting as it raises moral questions.
