“Num mundo incompreensível e em perpétua mudança, as massas haviam chegado a um ponto em que, ao mesmo tempo, acreditavam em tudo e em nada, julgavam que tudo era possível e que nada era verdadeiro. A própria mistura, por si, já era bastante notável, pois significava o fim da ilusão de que a credulidade fosse fraqueza de gente primitiva e ingênua, e que o cinismo fosse o vício superior dos espíritos refinados. A propaganda de massa descobriu que o seu público estava sempre disposto a acreditar no pior, por mais absurdo que fosse, sem objetar contra o fato de ser enganado, uma vez que achava que toda afirmação, afinal de contas, não passava de mentira Os líderes totalitários basearam a sua propaganda no pressuposto psicológico correto de que, em tais condições, era possível fazer com que as pessoas acreditassem nas mais fantásticas afirmações em determinado dia, na certeza de que, se recebessem no dia seguinte a prova irrefutável da sua inverdade, apelariam para o cinismo; em lugar de abandonarem os líderes que lhes haviam mentido, diriam que sempre souberam que a afirmação era falsa, e admirariam os líderes pela grande esperteza tática.”

Nicht der Mensch bewohnt diesen Planeten, sondern Menschen. Die Vielzahl ist das Gesetz der Erde.

“Fluindo na direcção da morte, a vida do homem arrastaria consigo, inevitavelmente, todas as coisas humanas para a ruína e a destruição, se não fosse a faculdade humana de interrompê-las e iniciar algo novo, faculdade inerente à acção como perene advertência de que os homens, embora devam morrer, não nascem para morrer, mas para começar.”

The Human Condition

“Pois, não importa o que digam os cientistas, a raça é, do ponto de vista político, não o começo da humanidade mas o seu fim, não a origem dos povos mas o seu declínio, não o nascimento natural do homem mas a sua morte antinatural.”

The Origins of Totalitarianism

“Mas permanece também a verdade de que todo fim na história constitui necessariamente um novo começo; esse começo é a promessa, a única 'mensagem' que o fim pode produzir. O começo, antes de tornar-se evento histórico, é a suprema capacidade do homem; politicamente, equivale à liberdade do homem. Initium ut esset homo creatus est - 'o homem foi criado para que houvesse um começo', disse Agostinho. Cada novo nascimento garante esse começo; ele é, na verdade, cada um de nós.”

“A melhor forma de determinar se uma pessoa foi expulsa do âmbito da lei é perguntar se, para ela, seria melhor cometer um crime. Se um pequeno furto pode melhorar a sua posição legal, pelo menos temporariamente, podemos estar certos de que foi destituída dos direitos humanos. Pois o crime passa a ser, então, a melhor forma de recuperação de certa igualdade humana, mesmo que ela seja reconhecida como exceção à norma.”

“The totalitarian attempt at global conquest and total domination has been the destructive way out of all impasses. Its victory may coincide with the destruction of humanity; wherever it has ruled, it has begun to destroy the essence of man.”

Help us translate this quote

Hannah Arendt livro As Origens do Totalitarismo

Preface to the first edition, written in the summer of 1950.
The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)
Contexto: The totalitarian attempt at global conquest and total domination has been the destructive way out of all impasses. Its victory may coincide with the destruction of humanity; wherever it has ruled, it has begun to destroy the essence of man. Yet to turn our backs on the destructive forces of the century is of little avail.
The trouble is that our period has so strangely intertwined the good with the bad that without the imperialists' "expansion for expansion's sake," the world might never have become one; without the bourgeoisie's political device of "power for power's sake," the extent of human strength might never have been discovered; without the fictitious world of totalitarian movements, in which with unparalleled clarity the essential uncertainties of our time have been spelled out, we might have been driven to our doom without ever becoming aware of what has been happening.
And if it is true that in the final stages of totalitarianism an absolute evil appears (absolute because it can no longer be deduced from humanly comprehensible motives), it is also true that without it we might never have known the truly radical nature of Evil.

“Persecution of powerless or power-losing groups may not be a very pleasant spectacle, but it does not spring from human meanness alone.”

Help us translate this quote

Hannah Arendt livro As Origens do Totalitarismo

Part 1, Ch. 1, § 1.
The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)
Contexto: Persecution of powerless or power-losing groups may not be a very pleasant spectacle, but it does not spring from human meanness alone. What makes men obey or tolerate real power and, on the other hand, hate people who have wealth without power, is the rational instinct that power has a certain function and is of some general use. Even exploitation and oppression still make society work and establish some kind of order. Only wealth without power or aloofness without a policy are felt to be parasitical, useless, revolting, because such conditions cut all the threads which tie men together. Wealth which does not exploit lacks even the relationship which exists between exploiter and exploited; aloofness without policy does not imply even the minimum concern of the oppressor for the oppressed.

“The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together, for it implied — as had been said at Nuremberg over and over again by the defendants and their counsels — that this new type of criminal, who is in actual fact hostis generis humani, commits his crimes under circumstances that make it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he is doing wrong.”

“For the lesson of such stories [of resistance to Nazi atrocities] is simple and within everybody's grasp. Politically speaking, it is that under conditions of terror, most people will comply but some people will not, just as the lesson of the countries to which the Final Solution was proposed is that "it could happen" in most places but it did not happen everywhere. Humanly speaking, no more is required, and no more can reasonably be asked, for this planet to remain a place fit for human habitation.”

Contexto: The concentration camps, by making death itself anonymous (making it impossible to find out whether a prisoner is dead or alive), robbed death of its meaning as the end of a fulfilled life. In a sense they took away the individual’s own death, proving that henceforth nothing belonged to him and he belonged to no one. His death merely set a seal on the fact that he had never existed.

“Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries.

“However much we are affected by the things of the world, however deeply they may stir and stimulate us, they become human for us only when we can discuss them with our fellows. Whatever cannot become the object of discourse - the truly sublime, the truly horrible or the uncanny - may find human voice through which to sound into the world, but it is not exactly human. We humanize what is going on in the world and in ourselves only by speaking of it, and in the course of speaking of it we learn to be human.”

But life itself is neither essence nor elixir, and if you treat as such it will only play its tricks on you.”

“If […] the ability to tell right from wrong should turn out to have anything to do with the ability to think, then we must be able to "demand" its exercise from every sane person, no matter how erudite or ignorant, intelligent or stupid, he may happen to be.

Part 3, Ch. 1 § 1.
The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)

“Since it is always the same person whose mind thinks, wills, and judges, the autonomous nature of these activities has created great difficulties. Reason’s inability to move the will, plus the fact that thinking can only “understand” what is past what neither remove it nor “rejuvenate it” … have led to the various doctrines asserting the mind’s impotence and the force of the irrational, in brief to Hume’s famous dictum that “Reason is and ought only to be the slave of the passions,” that is, to a rather simple-minded reversal of the Platonic notion of reason’s uncontested rulership in the household of the soul. What is so remarkable in all these theories and doctrines is their implicit monism, the claim that behind the obvious multiplicity of the world’s appearances and, even more pertinently to our context, behind the obvious plurality of man’s faculties and abilities, there must exist a oneness — the old hen pan, “the all is one””

“A mixture of gullibility and cynicism had been an outstanding characteristic of mob mentality before it became an everyday phenomenon of masses. In an ever-changing, incomprehensible, world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything is possible and that nothing was true.”

The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)
Contexto: A mixture of gullibility and cynicism had been an outstanding characteristic of mob mentality before it became an everyday phenomenon of masses. In an ever-changing, incomprehensible, world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything is possible and that nothing was true. The mixture in itself was remarkable enough, because it spelled the end of the illusion that gullibility was a weakness of unsuspecting primitive souls and cynism the vice of superior and refined minds. Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.

“In politics, love is a stranger, and when it intrudes upon it nothing is being achieved except hypocrisy.”

Help us translate this quote

Hannah Arendt

Letter to James Baldwin (21 November 1962).
General sources
Contexto: In politics, love is a stranger, and when it intrudes upon it nothing is being achieved except hypocrisy. All the characteristics you stress in the Negro people: their beauty, their capacity for joy, their warmth, and their humanity, are well-known characteristics of all oppressed people. They grow out of suffering and they are the proudest possession of all pariahs. Unfortunately, they have never survived the hour of liberation by even five minutes. Hatred and love belong together, and they are both destructive; you can afford them only in private and, as a people, only so long as you are not free.
