Just like he puts it, men should “seek to amend them” rather than wait for the majority to decide on the next course of action. He states that there often are unjust laws within a government and that people should not just follow such laws blindly. This statement does not mean that he is an anti-government but rather an activist for a better government. His opinion is clear when he states that, “That government is best which governs not at all” (Thoreau and MacLeish 6).

With the decline of the nation-state, the influence of the Jewish elite also declined significantly, but at the same time the influence of antisemitism as an ideology inexplicably seemed to grow. This exceptional position put them outside of class society and seemed to connect them to the state, making them a target of hatred whenever a class or group came into conflict with the state. To do this, Arendt studies their roles as financiers to the state and a special group in society that was not fully integrated into the nation-state. Arendt argues that it is not mere coincidence that they were chosen as the victims of the horrors of totalitarianism, and that by investigating their relationship to society as a whole, one might learn why they became the object of so much hatred. ![]() The first section, "Antisemitism," investigates why antisemitism and the figure of the Jew played such an integral role in Nazi and totalitarian propaganda.
