Democrats need capital. So do fascists for their aggressive warfare. So do Stalinists for their grandiose dreams of rushed development. Ao do plutocrats who seek to grind workers into industrial serfs. So does your ideology if it is to achieve anything.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
