Impulses floating around Eastern Europe

The will of the leader becomes the dictate of the movement. 

It is important that the will remain slightly ambiguous and arbitrary so that it can be experienced by the followership as absolute. Along with the absolute will of the leader comes the fact of its being external to the will of the follower. The will of the leader need not make sense, indeed, his will must be followed whether or not it makes sense because to follow nonsense demonstrates an absolute loyalty and dedication to the leader's direction. 

Daat Torah leans in this same direction. Jews ought to stop resenting this totalitarian inclination in Jewish teachings and recognize it for what it is – a totalitarian-like response to the general totalitarian impulses that were floating around Eastern Europe in the early 20th century. Daat Torah is a toothless Jewish version of what in the goyim manifested as Nazism and Communism.
