Hayek

There are three main reasons why such a numerous and strong group with fairly homogeneous views is not likely to be formed by the best but rather by the worst elements of any society. By our standards the principles on which such a group would be selected will be almost entirely negative.

Addressing the first reason, Hayek says:

In the first instance, it is probably true that, in general, the higher the education and intelligence of individuals become, the more their views and tastes are differentiated and the less likely they are to agree on a particular hierarchy of values. It is a corollary of this that if we wish to find a high degree of uniformity and similarity of outlook, we have to descend to the regions of lower moral and intellectual standards where the more primitive and โ€œcommonโ€ instincts and tastes prevail.

And this is precisely what happened in Germany prior to the rise of the Third Reich.
Hayek continues:

It is, as it were, the lowest common denominator which unites the largest number of people.โ€

Here comes in the second negative principle of selection: he will be able to obtain the support of all the docile and gullible, who have no strong convictions of their own but are prepared to accept a ready-made system of values if it is only drummed into their ears sufficiently loudly and frequently. It will be those whose vague and imperfectly formed ideas are easily swayed and whose passions and emotions are readily aroused who will thus swell the ranks of the totalitarian party.โ€

"The revival of the Irish language we are very often told, will erect a barricade between ourselves and the outside world.....The answer to this contention is to be seen in every country in Europe which possesses a language of its own. The history of our own country contradicts it in unmistakable terms. The Irish-speaking Ireland of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was in much more vital and intimate contact with the continent of Europe than the English-speaking Ireland of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries."
