“So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot”
“From the totalitarian point of view, history is something to be created rather than learned.”
“Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.”
“A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.”
