“Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or
dictatorship of the proletariat,
our great adversary remains the apparatus —
the bureaucracy, the police, the military.

Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle
lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers’
enemy,
but the one that calls itself our protector
and makes us its slaves.

No matter what the circumstances, the worst betrayal
will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus
and to trample underfoot, in its service,
all human values in ourselves and in others.”

— Simone Weil, French philosopher and political activist
