-   [[Dual power]] is situational and can contend with decaying capitalism, not necessarily a practice (red library)

-   WWII was the end of the _[[ancien regime]]_, with the aristocracy being integrated into the bourgeois class
-   [[Laws]] are written to constrain others, not the ruling class
-   Political kitsch is a means of talking about politics in a very [[neoliberal]] way: everyone is their own entrepreneur and the purchasing of these products is seen as an expression of [[identity]]
-   [[Nazi]] [[cinema]] was fascinated by death, much like Nazism itself. Deaths in Nazi cinema were happy and self-sacrificing (see also: [[Nazi cinema]])
-   [[Nazi]] [[cinema]] created a false fantasy, traditional life (see also: [[Nazi cinema]])
-   Age regression was common in [[Nazi films]], innocence and child-like behavior
