A recognized classic and definitive account of its subject, The Origins of Totalitarianism traces the emergence of modern racism as an "ideological weapon for imperialism," begining with the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe in the nineteenth century and continuing through the New Imperialism period from 1884 to World War I.
In her analysis of the institutions and operations of totalitarian movements, Arendt focuses on the two genuine forms of totalitarian government in the twentieth century: Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, which she adroitly recognizes as two sides of the same coin rather than opposing philosophies of the Right and Left. From this vantage point, she discusses the transformation of classes into masses, the role of propaganda, and the use of terror essential to this form of government. In her brilliant concluding chapter, she discusses the nature of individual isolation and loneliness as preconditions for total domination.

Enormt intressant om man vill ha en bakgrund till vår tid och varför Europa ser ut osom det gör. Väldigt grundlig, tidvis låmgramdig men väldigt angelägen. Gör att man vill ta del av fler av Hannah Atendts verk.

Så att anamma en ideologi är att sluta ta in omvärlden. Du vet ju redan hur världen är utan att behöva titta på den. Hon har onekligen en poäng där!
