Activities, but also in terms of i did logical mobilization in terms of propaganda, in terms of the way you motivate a populous in order go to total war. And i indicated to you that when various leaders talked about the war as being motivated by racial ideology in attempts to secure racial purity, theres a total lizing effect. So when Adolph Hitler talks about the destruction of the jews in 1939, very clearly thats the language of total war in its own way. Equally i spoke to you before about the language of human rights and the articulation of war aims by Franklin Roosevelt and the various other allied leaders and wait in which they promised human rights would be secured everywhere in the world. Also a total guarantee. Other frooiss that have a totalizing quality are those like Unconditional Surrender which we talked about implying that there had to be a total victory rather than an arm miss stus.
