What would Nietzsche perhaps say about Arendt’s account of the nature of power that is operative in a tranny

Hannah Arendt, “On the Nature of Totalitarianism: An Essay in Understanding”

Answer the following two study-guide questions. Limited you answer to what you see as most essential to Arendt’s understanding. Use short citations from the text to support you answer. Limit each answer to one paragraph (one half of a typed page). Please don’t use secondary sources when answering the questions.

Question One (Section One, pages 328-338):

In an attempt to understand the nature of totalitarianism, Arendt inquires into the distinction between the nature of a republic and the nature of a tranny. As she advances her inquiry into what makes each one “what it is,” Arendt also gives an account of the “principles” that guide the action of each. What’s more, she gives an account of the nature of power that is tied to the “principle” that guides each of these two forms of government. What would Nietzsche perhaps say about Arendt’s account of the nature of power that is operative in a tranny (pages 336-338)?

Your answer to the question needs to come from Section One, pages 328-338.

Question Two (Section Three, pages 349-360):

In the third section of Arendt’s essay “On the Nature of Totalitarianism: An Essay in Understanding,” Arendt speaks of the unprecedented crimes against humanity under the regimes of Hitler and Stalin. Here she attempt to account for the nature of totalitarianism as based in the likes of such sick ideologies (of racism, anti-Semitism, etc.) that are “emancipated from Reality” (that involve a “transformation of ideology into Reality”) and that use the “principle of logicality” to argue deductively from their singular ideological claim (from their “one single accepted premise”). How would Plato perhaps respond to Arendt’s observation here (pages 354-357)? What would Plato see as a remedy to the problem?

Your answer to the question needs to come from Section Three, pages 349-360.
