grgr: ticket mentality

[Lorentzen / Nicklaus]

 "the jews are murdered at a time, when the leaders can substitute the 
 antisemitic plank as easily as the followers can be taken from one place of  
 completely rationalized production to another. the base of the development  
 leading to ticket-thinking is in any way the universal reduction of all  
 spezific energy to the one, same, abstract working form from the battle field 
 to the movie studio. but the transition of such conditions to a more human  
 condition cannot happen because the good is befallen by the same as evil is. 
 the freedom on the progressive ticket is so external to the power-political 
 structures, into which the progressive decisions unavoidably change, as the 
 hostility towards jews is to the chemical trust. though the psychologically 
 more human are attracted by that first one, the spreading loss of experience 
 turns in the end also supporters of the progressive ticket into enemies of  
 difference. not just the antisemitic ticket is antisemitic, but ticket  
 mentality in general."
