Nazi selection policy mandated perpetual expansion as its governing logic.

Evidence

In the same context belongs the planned enactment of an “over-all alien legislation,” by means of which the “institutional authority” of the police—namely, to ship persons innocent of any offenses to concentration camps—was to be legalized and expanded. … In connection with this “negative population policy,” which in its aim at extermination decidedly matches the Bolshevist party purges, it is important to remember that “in this process of selection there can never be a standstill” (Himmler, “Die Schutzstaffel,” in Grundlagen, Aufbau und Wirlschaftsordnung des nationalsozialstischen Staates, No. 7b). — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2555

Categorization

• XREF: The ‘never a standstill’ principle of selection is a core mechanism for the biopolitics/necropolitics toolkit — connects directly to how racialized exclusion is theorized as inherently unlimited.
• DEEPTHINKING: The self-escalating logic of administrative selection — that it cannot rest because selection is its raison d’être — is a dense mechanism useful far beyond the Nazi case.
