The psychological phenomenon of the politburo repeats itself to infinity. (At bottom: idealists hemmed in by the sclerosis of doctrines and circumstances, and dominated by their convictions and their emotional attachments; in short, by fanaticism. Under such conditions the person who disturbs the inner security of the others is a hateful heretic.) Molins i Fàbregas, Gorkin, and Pivert reproach me for calling into question convictions that they for their part don’t question, hence their feeling of superiority.
