It's very hard to see how anyone could seriously make that claim. If we imagine a world exactly like ours except that one victim of torture didn't have to undergo his experience of torture (let's say he died spontaneously while being driven to the torture location), we would live in a better world than we do now. Surely this world is possible, right?

no, as that one change would lead to a worse overall world. every torture victim is necessary to the best state of things

>no you see actually bad things are good because they spur us to do good things so even torture is justified by the fact that the torturers will totally resent their gruesome deeds and work hard to redeem themselves
>no you see, people do bad things because they think they're actually good for them but don't realize they're actually bad until they have schizophrenic visions and see the true light of God, the death of countless innocents is for the best!
I don't think /lit/ even reads if they believe Hegel's retardation tops Leibniz's.
