Theme topics |
In a totalitarian society man no longer
exists as an individual; only the leader exists as a separate entity, and the masses are
but extensions of him. |

Without diligence and steadfast observance
of the ideal, the vision of a better society will be corrupted. |

History repeats itself; therefore,
understanding the past explains the present and is the key to the future. |
