Governments that are not pathological leave some room for the citizens to take action.
Totalitarian regimes remove the possibility of action and put in its place the possibility of executing or being executed in the name of the totalitarian mission, be it the laws of racial dominance or the elimination of decadent classes. The Jewish preoccupation with their racial status and the antisemitism that keys off of that racism comes dangerously close to that totalitarian perspective.
When one's identity revolves around either being superior to other peoples or being victimized by them it is not clear how much room there will be left over for a Jewish principle of action.
