One of the great fallacies of our time is that the Nazis rose to power because they imposed order on chaos. Precisely the opposite is true -- they were successful because they imposed chaos on order. They ore up the commandments, they denied the super-ego, what you will. They said, "You may persecute the minority, you may kill, you may torture, you may couple and bred without love." They offered humanity all its great temptations. Nothing is true, everything is permitted." --- John Fowles, The Magus
