Hello Bob:
Pazhalyusta!

Quote of the day [The origins of totalitariansim; Hannah Arendt]; regarding the political benefits of the decree:
"Its efficiency is superior simply because it ignores all intermediary stages between issuance and application, and because it prevents political reasoning by the people through the withhooding of information. It can easily overcome the variety of local customs and need not rely on the necessarily slow process of develpment of general law. It is most helpful for the establishment of a centralized administration because it overrides automatically all matter or local autonomy. If rule by good laws has sometimes been called the rule of wisdom, rule by appropriate decrees may rightly be called the rule of cleverness (Page 244, 1958)."

If you don't mind, what do you consider to be the main studies or political/cultural influences of your life?
Sincerely,
Natalie

P.S. I've started two more of Wilhelm Reich's books: The Mass Psychology of Fascism & Genitality in the theory and therapy of neurosis.
