Domaine(s)
  • Régimes politiques
CONT

[...] l'État totalitaire est donc non seulement omnipotent et omniprésent, mais encore, - pis que tout le reste - omniscient : son œil voit tout, ou presque; aussi bien doit-il sur ce point [...] se faire aider par ses polices en uniforme et ses polices «en bourgeois». Cette aide indispensable, le pouvoir policier le fait payer cher à l'État totalitaire, au point que ce 4e pouvoir devient bientôt, à lui seul l'exécutif, le législatif et même le judiciaire.
