"Totalitarian lawfulness, defying legality and pretending to establish direct reign of justice on earth, executes the law of History or of Nature without translating it into standards of right and wrong for individual behaviour." - What the ruler says goes, whether it's right or not.
Totalitarian governments break the link between civilised world and themselves due to monstrous crimes, but it is not ruthlessness for the sake of being ruthless, it's because someone broke the laws in their country.
People can be judged as criminals when they break the consensus irius - When they break the laws by which they are governed.
Darwin's laws of nature and survival of the fittest are being swept into history as they develop through time. They can be seen as racist to the extent that Marx's survival of the fittest class can also be seen as racist.
Meaning of 'law' changed from expressing the framework of stability within people must act to become the expression of motion itself.
If the law of nature is for unfit species to die, then the law of history is for unfit classes to wither away, so if new classes did not form it would mean the end of humanity.
"In the body politic of totalitarian government, this place of positive laws is taken by total terror, which is designed to translate into reality the law of history or nature."
"Terror in totalitarian government has ceased to be a mere means for the suppression of opposition, though it is also used for such purposes."
"Terror becomes total when it becomes independent of all opposition; it rules supreme when nobody any longer stands in its way. If lawfulness is the essence of non-tyrannical government and lawlessness is the essence of tyranny, then terror is the essence of totalitarian domination."
Chief aim of terror is to make law of history and nature race through mankind.
Terror, when not used to execute law or to improve the welfare of mankind, eliminates individuals for the sake of the species, sacrifices the 'parts' for the sake of the 'whole.'
"By pressing man against each other, total terror destroys the space between them; insofar as it is still some kind of space, appears like a guarantee of freedom."
Total terror is not for or against men, it provides nature and history with things to accelerate their movement.
Ideologies combine scientific approach with philosophical relevance and pretend to be scientific philosophy. The word ideology implies that ideas can be the subject of science like animals are the subject of zoology.
