Ending domination would fulfill Fascism’s lie by contradicting it.

Evidence

The change depends on whether the ruled see and control themselves in the face of absolute madness and call a halt to it. If thought is liberated from domination and if violence is abolished, the long absent idea is liable to develop that Jews too are human beings. This development would represent the step out of an anti-Semitic society which drives Jews and others to madness, and into the human society. This step would also fulfill the Fascist lie, but in contradicting it: the Jewish question would prove in fact to be the turning point of history. — Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Dialectic of Enlightenment, 159

Categorization

• DEEPTHINKING: The dialectical claim that the ‘fulfillment’ of the Fascist lie is its own contradiction — the Jewish question as the turning point of history — is a profound inversion.
• XREF: The ‘Jews too are human beings’ formulation ties to the whole Enlightenment project of universal humanity that Dialectic of Enlightenment critiques throughout — the text’s central tension, not just a local point. — connects to: Defeating Fascism does not guarantee freedom will replace it. — Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Dialectic of Enlightenment, 195
