" When ideology becomes absolute through the possession of absolute power, changes from partial knowledge into totalitarian falsehood, the thought of history is so perfectly anihilated that history itself, even at the level of the most empirical knowledge, can no longer exist. The totalitarian bureaucratic society lives in a perpetual present where everything that happened exists for its only as a place accesible to its police."
Society of the Spectacle, Guy Debord (Black and Red, Detroit: 1983)108.
