ABSTRACT

On the contrary, the Western European democracies themselves will be forced into totalitarianism unless they produce a noneconomic society striving for the freedom and the equality of the individual. The slightest exception to the complete control and to the complete subordination of economic activities to noneconomic objectives disrupts and endangers totalitarian society. The fundamental social and ideological dynamic of a revolution is always decisive, both internally and externally. Everything else—economic, military, or political factors—becomes subordinated; these can be supreme or independent only in a static society. A totalitarian social and political society must also have complete economic totalitarianism. The political and social realities of totalitarianism forbid close economic collaboration with any country which has not a totalitarian social and political structure. As in Germany, the "noneconomic society" has been initiated. Gradually all other objectives and the entire social structure have been subordinated to an armament drive, the main justification for which is as social as it is in Germany.
