Evidence

89 Burke, op. cit.: “They believed that no men could act with effect, who did not act in concert; that no men could act in concert, who did not act with confidence; that no men could act with confidence, who were not bound together by common opinions, common affections, and common interests.” — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2467
