Totalitarianism is as much a disease of political legitimacy as it is a disease of political authority.
The elevation under totalitarian rule of the movement's ideology into the dominant, mandatory culture of the people results from the leader's close connection to the movement's people.
Totalitarian rule is the grass roots run wild.
The biblical regime is necessary as a stop to the extreme application of civil society values.
It is when civil society is infected with hubris that the danger of avodah zarah is highest.
