Quote by Hannah Arendt

What will happen once the authentic mass man takes over, we do not know yet, although it may be a fair guess that he will have more in common with the meticulous, calculated correctness of Himmler than with the hysterical fanaticism of Hitler, will more resemble the stubborn dullness of Molotov than the sensual vindictive cruelty of Stalin.

Summary

This quote suggests that when the so-called "authentic mass man" comes to power, the exact outcome is uncertain. However, it posits that this individual would likely embody a controlled and calculated approach akin to Himmler rather than the zealous fervor displayed by Hitler, and would resemble the obstinate monotony of Molotov instead of the sadistic cruelty exhibited by Stalin. In essence, the quote implies that a future leader rooted in conformity and rigidity could arise, leading to a different kind of tyranny than seen before.
