A screenplay (http://www.interventionmag.com/cms/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=885&POSTNUKESID=4c1af95e9aa16ac67db0025ae2b9479d)

kinda funny, kinda sad.

Fascism, drawn from the depths of human weakness and frailty, will die with Hitler. Never again will the intellect be rendered so impotent; never again shall free will be in such short supply as it was in Nazi Germany. History teaches us our mistakes. Never again.

"We have a new type of rule now. Not one-man rule, or rule of aristocracy or plutocracy, but of small groups elevated to positions of absolute power by random pressures and subject to political and economic factors that leave little room for decision.

They are representatives of abstract forces who have reached power through surrender of self. The iron-willed dictator is a thing of past.

There will be no more Stalins, no more Hitlers.

The rulers of this most insecure of all worlds are rulers by accident. Inept, frightened pilots at the controls of a vast machine they cannot understand, calling in experts to tell them which buttons to push."

—William S. Burroughs, “No More Stalins, No More Hitlers,” from Dead City Radio, Island Records, 1990; and Interzone, Viking Books, 1989.
