How "aesthetic experience" replaces political freedoms in the example of Nazism and Herschism - when citizens are not allowed to influence what is happening in the country, they are offered to admire what is created around them.

So the government offers a substitute: external comfort instead of freedom and beautiful streets instead of the opportunity to change the system.
