> Hitler, because in his own joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings don’t only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice

This fact has been the downfall of every utopian ideology, and ignoring creates a vacuum that fascist regimes readily fill.

I wonder what sort of strange centrist form of government might be able to strike a balance between our need for comfort and our need for adventure.
