The Origins of Totalitarianism begins with the rise of anti-Semitism in central and western Europe in the 1800s and continues with an examination of European colonial imperialism from 1884 to the outbreak of World War I. Arendt explores the institutions and operations of totalitarian movements, focusing on the two genuine forms of totalitarian government in our time—Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia—which she adroitly recognizes were two sides of the same coin, rather than opposing philosophies of Right and Left. From this vantage point, she discusses the evolution of classes into masses, the role of propaganda in dealing with the nontotalitarian world, the use of terror, and the nature of isolation and loneliness as preconditions for total domination.

I just want to point out that she was a German born Jew, who went on to love a Marxist.
I haven’t read/listened to the book yet, but I’m just going to guess that this book may very well be biased.

I just want to point out that, that Ryan’s comment (which unfortunately I have read) may very well be an epitome of idiocy. Good luck, Ryan!

ms, I second that.

ms and licna - add me to that list!!
@ryan: what’s your point? You haven’t read the book so your guessing at the contents (stupid move), and so does that mean we shouldn’t listen to Schubert and Schumann, or care what Einstein had to say because they too were German-born Jews?
Unbelievable the kinds of idiotic anti-semitic comments and ignorant people there are!

Good point Ryan, people should be aware that the author probably thinks the nazis were bad.

@ Mlk
Yes, Nazis were all MFs. I thought that was made clear long time ago. But again people can be ignorant and arrogant and proud of both! Like Nazis!

Let’s forgive Ryan for his inadequacies, and encourage him to continue reading and learning.
Thank you for the upload!

It’s been a dozen years since this upload & Ryan’s comment, but in the context of Trump 2.0, I just want to point out that Ryan’s comment reflects Nazi sympathies, and a knee-jerk anti-communism. If Ryan did listen to the book, perhaps Arendt’s own anti-communism caused Ryan to listen more carefully to her analysis of the Nazi regime. Ryan obviously didn’t know that some of her harshest critics came, and continue to come, from the marxian left. Alberto Toscano, in his excellent Late Fascism, recently dismissed Hannah Arendt’s totalitarianism analysis as a relic of Cold War prejudices. I’m glad Toscano opted to take a fresh perspective in his own analysis, but I think Arendt’s conception of totalitarianism remains valuable so long as we don’t define the term as it was understood during the Cold War, as an actual system of perfected surveillance and control, but as an aspiration. This is an aspiration which Trump himself expressed during an interview early in his second presidency, when he was asked about the role of dissent in the US. (It is paradoxical, but Trump is simultaneously the most honest and the most dishonest president the US has ever had.)
