The birth of totalitarianism
With the rise of Italian fascism, was first used the term totalitarian. An oft-quoted line from a text by Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile says: "to fascism, all within the state and nothing human or spiritual exists or has value outside the State, in this sense Fascism is totalitarian."
The term reappears in the political opposition to Hitler and Stalin, in the case of the latter by intellectuals such as Victor Serge and Boris Souvarine.
The same term will jump quality over the decades and will serve to define a large number of groups with similar structures and behaviors, among which are the sects.
groups
totalitarian totalitarian groups are formed by a leader or a small group of people, and idolized the almighty that the praises and protects, a pyramidal structure with a rigid base under the doctrine of "official" and lack of freedom of those subjected to ideological issues, conscience, etc..
totalitarian groups do not accept anything that comes out of his way to understand the situations and the world and therefore advocate an end Manichaeism, where they always have the truth and the "enemies" inside or outside the group are always wrong.
Moreover, totalitarian groups using psychological coercion and manipulation to bring to its members. Coercion used means of pressure, force and domination to model behavior. The manipulation adds an element of deception or concealment, distraction from the objectives of manipulation. As an example, we find here the love of totalitarianism bombing that usually hide the purpose of the desire for domination of the members.
Totalitarianism is the lack and denial of the person as an individual has free will. Groups
totalitarian political, sectarian and family
totalitarian groups may take the form of political parties, sects of the more colorful coats (religious, therapeutic, political, economic ...) and even families and respond to structures and behavior as described in the preceding paragraphs, but each with its peculiarities.
In the fascist dictatorships, which has seized power a totalitarian right-wing political group, there is a powerful leader (Mussolini, Hitler, Franco in the first stage ...), a rigid pyramidal structure with a subject to a doctrine "Official" and an absence of ideological freedom of conscience ... Those who do not conform to the dictates, are declared "enemies", paragraphs, imprisoned and killed.
In communist dictatorships, totalitarian leftist groups assuming power in the so-called "dictatorship of the proletariat", the situation is almost identical: a group leader or powerful, a pyramidal structure with extreme ideological control and a lack of total freedom. To those who think like the regime awaits exile, imprisonment or murder.
dictatorships both left and right, totalitarian groups of different political sign upon assuming power, States become practically macrosectas.
As small-scale version of these totalitarian states, we find other totalitarian groups: those sects. In these, there is also a powerful leader in the dome, a pyramid structure with one subject to the dictates and some "enemies" they usually end sections or expelled from the group accepts no truer than yours. The similarity of totalitarian sects and totalitarian states left and right is so great that not a few sects that embrace the ideology of those States. In fact, there are totalitarian sects and political parties of the extremes.
Paradoxically, although some families a big help to those affected by cults are also other totalitarian groups with a leader or small group of powerful people in the dome, a pyramid structure that does not allow criticism and lack of freedom that usually ends up saying "enemies "doctrine of the" official "and excluding them, or even killed as occurs within families belonging to the Mafia. Recall that the main psychologists cult experts claim that "there are families who work as totalitarian sects."
An example can be found without problems within Judaism, especially in ultra-Orthodox rabbinical sects. The leading rabbis belong to one family, there is a pyramid and an apparent lack of freedom among those subject to the dictates of personal vision of a leading rabbi. The rabbis are succeeded by their children, grandchildren, etc., Forming authentic rabbinical dynasties.
Another example of totalitarian family, although in this case intertwined with a political group and a left-wing totalitarian state is that of the communist dictatorship of North Korea. North Korea has been directed since 1948 by Kim Il Sung until his death on July 8, 1994. After the October 8, 1997, his son Kim Jong-il was appointed Secretary General of the Korean Workers Party. In Korea, it does not move a finger without the permission of the family assumes totalitarian control of the Communist Party and the totalitarian state leads. Baghlan
these two examples as evidence of the dynamics that can reach families totalitarian.
Totalitarianism is the problem, and Freedom the solution.
