The New York Times reports ‘new’ ‘research’ which contends that dictatorships are run by people who are “basically idiots”. Which is to say: the pencil pushers are always the first to go fascist.
How is it that people have for so long missed the full implications of Arendt’s ‘banality of evil’?
If only they had read Bloch, maybe none of this would have come as a surprise.
Speaking of Bloch: Early in Heritage of Our Times he writes evocatively of the Nazis taking ownership of the color red from the Communists.
