Your sig has the wrong title, it should be
The Origins of Totalitarianism - plus the quote is misleading. It actually applies best to liberal, leftist, communist ideas. Here is the context:
In all fairness to those among the elite, on the other hand, who at one
time or another have let themselves be seduced by totalitarian movements,
and who sometimes, because of their intellectual abilities, are even accused
of having inspired totalitarianism, it must be stated that what these desperate
men of the twentieth century did or did not do had no influence on
totalitarianism whatsoever, although it did play some part in earlier, successful,
attempts of the movements to force the outside world to take their
doctrines seriously. Wherever totalitarian movements seized power, this
whole group of sympathizers was shaken off even before the regimes proceeded
toward their greatest crimes. Intellectual, spiritual, and artistic initiative
is as dangerous to totalitarianism as the gangster initiative of the mob,
and both are more dangerous than mere political opposition. The consistent
persecution of every higher form of intellectual activity by the new mass
leaders springs from more than their natural resentment against everything
they cannot understand. Total domination does not allow for free initiative
in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable. Totalitarianism
in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of
their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose l ack of intelligence
and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.
