formation of community life
... From the politically leading class arise the politically
creative personalities. These are the mysterious elemental
forces which are beyond all explanation by human reason and
which through their action and by means of the living idea
within them give to the community of the people an
expression which is fresh, young, and eternal. Here is the
fulfilment of the highest and purest political humanity ...
The education of the socialist personality is essentially
the forming of the politically supporting class within the
German people and the encouragement of those political

Reich:

National Socialist Germany, however, is not merely a unitary
state: it is also a unitary nation and its governance is
based on the principle of leadership ...

In National Socialist Germany, leadership is in the hands of
an organized community, the National
