the Führerprinzip combines within one person the executive, judicial, and legislative power in the form of an authoritarian leader who embodies the struggle of a homogenous chosen race against its political enemies, both internal and external, representing a zeitgeist – a spirit of the times. In Thailand, this found form in Phibulsonggram’s 12 Cultural Mandates – a vision for a new nationalist socialist utopia founded on totalitarianism, complete with a new name for the country and for the people, instructions in how to treat foreigners as potential enemies, a new national anthem, and instructions in how to dress and how long to sleep, as well as when to shower and what to do on holidays.
