Concentration camps Concentration camps are the solution to overpopulation and expendability. They are the central institution of the total power apparatus and closest to the ideal of totalitarian society. Depending on taste and national mentality, secretly organize the disappearance of the undesirable at night or as a spectacle for popular amusement. For the latter, a show trial with self-accusation and confession of the superfluous is necessary. The outcome of the process is predetermined. It serves not the determination of judgment, but the statement of reasons by the accused himself. The death-devote consents to his dying and affirms the eternal life of the movement. Let the processes end with public executions in the case of advanced popular brutalization. Celebrity resistance fighters are particularly well suited for this. Not only their last moments under the hand of the executioner, also their publicly displayed corpses are a centuries-old tool for mass discipline. However effective these stagings may be, they can not replace, or even supplement, an orderly inventory. To cope with the sheer magnitude of social transformation, the vast majority of unimportant dissidents must be brought to the camp machine.
