In ihrem Klassiker Über die Revolution schreibt Hannah Arendt düster: dass am Anfang aller Brüderlichkeit der Brudermord, am Anfang jeder politischen Organisation ein Verbrechen stehe.
In her classic study On Revolution, Hannah Arendt observed darkly that “whatever brotherhood human beings may be capable of has grown out of fratricide, whatever political organization men may have achieved has its origin in crime.”
