“It is in the very nature of totalitarian regimes to demand unlimited power. Such power can only be secured if literally all men, without a single exception, are reliably dominated in every aspect of their life. (…)
(…) spontaneity as such, with its incalculability, is the greatest of all obstacles to total domination over man.”
Hannah Arendt – The Origins of Totalitarianism (Penguin Modern Classics – 1951/2017)
