Totalitarismo

Bracher on the two major political religions of the 20th century in Europe: "In Marxist-Leninist ideology Bracher saw echoes of the mystical elements of Nazism and fascism: “Communist policies are something mystical, something surpassing the rational capability of the individual, something fully accessible only to the collective and its leadership,” which saw itself as “an exclusively informed elite.” Communism, he argued, was the second major political religion of Europe’s 20th century."

Karl Dietrich Bracher (1922-2016)
