Amn't I being nice?<ggg> Yes, you are. Congratulations! And keep it up...<ggg> Seriously, now. Of course, you are right about Arendt. And her basic distinction is of course legitimate. (The problem is, of course, that any given dictatorship can shift from one category to another, at one time or another. In the post-Brezhnev period, for example,I would argue that the Soviet dictatorship was becoming more authoritarian than totalitarian. Otherwise, a Gorbachev could probably never have emerged.)
