The Prussian Instinct

"The German Revolution, however, emerged from a theory. The German, or more precisely Prussian, instinct was: power belongs to the whole.

The individual serves it. The whole is sovereign. The king is only the first servant of his state (Frederick the Great). Everyone is given his place. It is commanded and obeyed."

- Oswald Spengler, Prussianism and Socialism
