Dictators always look good until the last minutes.
Bureaucracy, the rule of no one, has become the modern form of despotism. The most tyrannical governments are those which make crimes of opinions, for everyone has an inalienable right to his thoughts.

With man degraded to a bundle of conditioned reflexes there remained only an aimless and turbulent moral relativity. This denial of the human soul was prefect preparation for the revival of tyranny.
