The idea of the viral-metamorphic theory was ‘inspired’ by Hanna Arendt's assertion that totalitarianism is the pathology of modernity. Therefore, totalitarianism is not the opposite of democracy, but a mutant entity derived from it. The totalitarian phenomenon emerges when change occurs and modifies certain essential aspects of democratic thought and action, such as freedom, equality, individualism, social contractualism, rationalism, social justice, the rule of law, etc. Right-wing totalitarianism has syncretically combined several trans-ideologies becoming an ideology in itself, with a unique and utopian view of the world, built of myths, archetypes, symbols, magical thought, and taboos. |
