Unity or Unanimity? "Legalistic authoritarianism shows itself in the confusion of unity with a human insistence on unanimity. Unity is a profound, even mystical quality. It takes great effort to achieve, yet more effort will never produce it; it is a source of great security, yet demands great risk."

"Unanimity, on the other hand, is very tidy. It can be measured, monitored, and enforced. It is largely external, whereas unity is essentially internal. Its primary goal is correct behavior, while unity's is a right spirit."

"Unanimity insists on many orthodoxies in addition to those of belief and behavior, including orthodoxy of experience and vocabulary."
