Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.
-- Hannah Arendt (The Origins of Totalitarianism)

happy Friday! It's time to finally read the last chapters of Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism and finally I'm seeing (ha) some glimmers of good news: the paradox of totalitarianism is that its regimes have to "hold out promises of stability in order to hide their intention of creating a state of permanent instability" and the latter can only be maintained through absolute global rule. as long as we still have nations, totalitarianism cannot survive! #arendt #totalitarianism
