Rezumat

The left or right political totalitarian regimes, which tragically marked the previous century, legitimise themselves by collectivist ideologies on which they base their project of radically changing society and the person. In accordance with these ideologies, the interest of social collectivity is predominantly in direct proportion with the individual‘s interest: the individual must be integrated, sometimes forcefully, in the collectivity and the differences among individuals must be levelled as much as possible. Aiming at either a ―racially pure nation‖ (Nazism) or at ―the working selfsame people‖ (communist totalitarianism), the holders of political power desire an as much homogenous mass as possible, which can be easily mobilised to respond to the orders of the State-Party and which is incapable of revolt. To achieve this objective of seemingly common interest for the whole society, the holders of the totalitarian political power justify the use of various, and sometimes abominable, forms of violence against those who oppose or might oppose this objective on the grounds that the interest of social collectivity is paramount.
