An ideal subject...........

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is 

not the convinced Nazi… or 

the convinced Communist,

but people for whom the distinction 

between fact and fiction 

(i.e., the reality of experience) and 

the distinction between true and false 

(i.e., the standards of thought) 

no longer exist.

-- Hannah Arendt. (1906–1975)
