“Every system of totalitarianism, including and between the poles of brutal tyranny and soft-spoken omni-control, has these in common: first, the rejection of binding moral absolutes established by a transcendent Being; second, the minimizing of the absolute value of human life; and third, the elevation of the state, malignant and seemingly benign alike, as the final arbiter of good and evil.”
