Abstract:
The concept of fascism has been defined quite precisely by researchers in the field of political science and sociology, who also defined its main features or characteristics. However, with the word fascism (and its derivatives, e.g. fascists, fascist…) members of the left often label their opponents, thus, this is word is often misused. In essence, fascism is a word that has become synonymous with the word totalitarianism. With the analysis that was based on similar characteristics we concluded that totalitarianisms of both poles (if the classical left–right political spectrum is applied) exhibit more common features than, for instance, totalitarianisms and classical dictatorships, which are also often called fascist or semi-fascist regimes. Thus, German Nazism (often also presented as one of the forms of fascism) and Russian Bolshevism (as one of the extremes forms of socialism) or Titoism in Yugoslavia have more in common than e.g. German Nazism and Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile or the dictatorship of colonels in Greece (both also frequently referred to as fascistic regimes or semi-fascist regimes). Using the word fascism is often not so much about denoting the actual content as it is more for political propaganda and slandering the opponent. If it was based on actual characteristics, fascism (fascist, fascists…) could become an adjective to denote all totalitarianisms (left fascism, right-wing fascism, Islamic fascism…).

Abstract:
Literature of an autobiographical character acquires a special significance in the world of the bloody tragic events of the 20th century, i.e. the Holocaust, the Second World War, the realities of the Nazi and Soviet totalitarianisms, death camps, and forced labour. Those are the recollections of experienced trauma which shatters identity, and of existential experiences of a borderline nature, of which Shalamov, a witness to the epoch, felt an obligation to talk. An anthropological analysis of Varlam Shalamov’s short story titled Artificial Limbs, Etc. enables one to grasp the role of memory and autobiographical testimony as a kind of cultural and literary antidote to silence and memory distorted by the Soviet totalitarianism. The author of Kolyma Tales offered a faithful description of a world outside the‘human’ world, one which was almost impossible to describe due to its inherent moral void, level of violence, and fear of the authorities who made people forget about the crimes, victims, and oppressors.

Abstract:
POST-TOTALITARIAN SOCIETY TOWARDS DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES AND VALUES: A PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE More years have passed since the last totalitarian bastion in Europe, the Communist system, collapsed. Apart from the fact that in the last phase of its existence, it was no longer as strong and did not exert as much influence on social life as before, citizens still expect there to be a strong state which is responsible for all aspects of life. In contrast to totalitarianisms, the democratic system is based on individual freedom and responsibility for oneself and others. This article addresses the issue of the existence of principles and values in societies that have experienced totalitarian rule and that currently have serious problems with building social relations on the basis of democratic principles. The systemic transformation from totalitarianism to democracy appears much faster in the political or even economic dimension than in the ethical and axiological one. Therefore, the author initially presents the mechanism of totalitarianism, referring to Hannah Arendt, Zbigniew Brzeziński, Antoni Kępiński or Józef Tischner, in order to later present the causes of disturbances in the formation of positive values in the post-totalitarian society. The anthropological and ethical conception adopted plays a crucial role here.

Abstract:
Despite all contents of secularisation, a certain kind of religious element is important in every modern totalitarian system, like Communism or National Socialism. Therefore, totalitarian systems can be regarded as political religions. The following historical and philosophical reflections on the history of ideas of political religions will contain three major parts: First, early uses of the concept ‘political religion’ by Campanella and Clasen in the 16th and 17th centuries will be considered, then the interpretation of totalitarianism as political religion will be analysed, with regards to Eric Voegelin, Raymond Aron and several ramifications, and finally, the perspective of political messianism in Jacob Leib Talmon’s work will be discussed.

Abstract:
POLISH INTERPRETATIONS OF TOTALITARIANISM: ON SOME OF THE RESULTS OF THE WORKS CARRIED OUT AT THE WITOLD PILECKI CENTRE FOR RESEARCH ON TOTALITARIANISMThe theory and practice of totalitarianism, despite the passage of time since the collapse of the systems showing its features in Europe, still arouses intellectual curiosity. This subject matter is also particularly interesting from the Polish point of view, as the native reflection on the subject reaching back in the tradition of political and legal thought to the interwar period shows the richness of often innovative research findings made by several generations of scientists in Poland and abroad. The subject of their exploration concerns not only the constitutive assumptions of totalitarianism and its fascist, Nazi and communist systemic forms, but also the peculiar domestic experiences that accompanied the inhabitants of Polish lands during World War II and the Cold War. This unique historical situation, in which the Republic of Poland had been entangled, creatively provokes to discover, archive and popularize knowledge in this field. Thus, it obliges to perpetuate materially and mentally important and tragic Polish experiences. Numerous publications, showing above all the perspective of the Polish interpretation, also make it possible to confront the positions of Polish researchers with the scientific findings from other parts of the world, as well as to take part in the international discourse with full legitimacy. The abovementioned motives were undoubtedly the main reasons for the creation of the collective work Experiencing two totalitarianisms: Interpretations published this year by the Witold Pilecki Centre for Research on Totalitarianism. Apart from other publications on totalitarian systems analysis, which have been published in Poland in recent years, it is an important research contribution to a subject which is completely unknown mainly as a result of the practices of the People’s Republic of Poland, but which is necessary in order to consolidate and settle accounts with the difficult past. This work can also be considered scientifically attractive because of the interdisciplinary historical, political, philosophical-political, legal and literary approach to the subject matter intended by its authors and editors.

In 2007 John N. Gray, announced that humanity was just entering the era of the post-apocalypse, an phase which will allow it to free itself from the utopias based on the Apocalypse, in his opinion, the primary source of all totalitarianisms. To see if this British political scientist is perhaps a prophet of the post-apocalyptic left, I turn my attention to Florence at the end of the fifteenth century where the religious reformer Savonarola was active playing the role of a prophet of the left, still apocalyptic.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to present and analyze selected travel accounts by the Polish emigrant Andrzej Bobkowski (1913–1961). In France, in spite of the ongoing war and then the German occupation, he undertook a number of cycling and sports-tourist expeditions; his phenomenal descriptions of these journeys have become part of the Polish literary canon. Bobkowski called his travels ‘bicycle tours’ and for him they were a form of expression inextricably connected with authentic existence and personal freedom in a world of totalitarianisms. The author employs comparative and the qualitative methods (content analysis) of scholarship.

Abstract:
The theory of totalitarianism has been attacked consistently and virulently since its inception. Many commentators have commented on its lack of appreciation for the differences between the regimes of Hitler and Stalin, i.e. those regimes to which it has most often been applied. Other commentators have questioned the analytical basis of the theory, arguing that the form of domination it describes is one that would be impossible to realize in practice. Building on these criticisms, the question addressed in this thesis is how theorists from a variety of intellectual positions arrive at their understanding of totalitarianism. What is it, in other words, that gives rise to a form of description whose sense, let alone whose historical accuracy appears to be in question? In chapters on some of the best known theorists of totalitarianism - Carl J. Friedrich, Leonard Schapiro, Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse and Agnes Heller - I show that the origins of the problems evident in discussion of these systems are to be found in the philosophical and theoretical presuppositions of the theorists concerned. It is argued that the reason why accounts of totalitarian systems are deficient is because these presuppositions are allowed to determine the manner in which such systems are described. Instead of describing what can be observed, the attempt to convey the fate of the individual subject within such regimes leads them to employ moral and ethical notions about rational behaviour and 'the good life' in order to substantiate their understanding of totalitarianism. This, it is argued, is the source of the difficulty with theories of totalitarianism. They are less the product of reasoned reflection on the character of such systems than of the application of implicitly moral assumptions about how people should behave and about how societies should be organized.

Abstract:
Cherchant à faire des récits de voyage une source à la fois pour l'histoire comparée des totalitarismes et pour celle des représentations des intellectuels français, nous proposons de résoudre une triple problématique : quelles sont les motivations et les identités des intellectuels voyageurs français en Italie fasciste et en Allemagne nazie ? Quelles modalités textuelles et iconographiques usent-ils dans leurs récits afin de transcrire l'indicible altérité politique ? Que dévoile enfin cette littérature de voyage des ambitions de ses auteurs et des réalités des régimes totalitaires ? L'élucidation des conditions intimes et collectives présidant au départ des voyageurs conduit à une présentation des sociabilités intellectuelles françaises, ainsi que des politiques touristiques fasciste et nationale-socialiste. Au travers d'un corpus unique par sa masse et sa variété textuelle comme iconographique, cette thèse délimite l'ambition testimoniale des voyageurs français. Enfin, l'immersion et l'enquête au contact direct des populations italienne et allemande ont à la fois fait surgir des représentations spécifiques des intellectuels et permis une approche originale du phénomène totalitaire. Ces impressions de voyage et ces enquêtes se sont toutefois heurtées à une part d'irrationnel, une dimension mythologique constituant l'essence des régimes totalitaires, mais dont la signification culturelle et politique échappait souvent aux voyageurs. Ce sont tout à la fois ces ambitions, ces impressions et ces impasses rencontrées par les intellectuels français en voyage que notre travail s'est appliqué à analyser
Seeking to use travel stories as sources for both the comparative history of totalitarianism and for the history of the representations of French intellectuals, our research addresses three issues : What are the motivations and identities of French intellectual travellers to Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany ? What textual and iconographie forms are they using in their stories to convey the unspeakable alterity ? What does this travel literature reveal of its authors' ambitions and the reality of totalitarian regimes ? The elucidation of the collective and personal conditions presiding over travellers' departures leads to presentation of the sociability of French intellectuals and of Fascist and National-Socialist touristic policie. Thanks to a corpus unique both for its size and its textual as well as iconographic variety, our dissertation delineates the testimonial ambition of French travellers. Through their immersion, the intellectuals conducted their surveys in direct contact to the Italian and German populations, thus revealing the representations : specific to them, as well as enabling an original approach to the totalitarian phenomenon. However, their impressions of travel as well as these surveys faced an irrational part, a mythological dimension the constitutes the essence of totalitarian regimes, but whose cultural and political meaning often eluded the travellers. Our research has endeavoured to analyse at the same time these ambitions, impressions and blind alleys

Abstract:
The Bund deutscher Madel (BdM), a Nazi youth organization for girls, was sponsored, organized, and promoted by Adolf Hitler's National Socialist Party. The BdM instilled values and beliefs of National Socialism in German girls, and encouraged attitudes and behavior in them that harmonized with Party views on womanhood. Political indoctrination for girls often came through music---especially song. Musical repertoire of the BdM strongly interconnects with the organization's development, internal structure and political philosophies.
My thesis analyses the relations between music, the BdM, National Socialism, and gender. Historical perspectives are documented to clarify the function and intention of the BdM, including its politics and philosophy, its activities designed to foster 'natural' gender roles, and its emerging supremacy over other right-wing youth movements in Nazi Germany. My thesis then examines conceptions of 'natural' gender roles for girls and women in Nazi society and how these role expectations are covertly and overtly embedded in the official music book of the BdM, entitled Wir Madel singen! To illustrate this relationship between music, politics, and gender expectations, ten songs from Wir Madel singen! are analyzed in detail.

The article deals with the phenomenon of “cancel culture” which is gaining momentum in academic life and scientific research in Western universities, questioning its manifestations and consequences in terms of epistemology, freedom of expression and academic freedom. These are described and critically evaluated as an unprecedented form of intellectual and political totalitarianism exercised by militants of the reactionary „woke” ideology, by reactivating similar practices from the Soviet regime and the Chinese cultural revolution. The disastrous consequences of this phenomenon on members of the academic community and academic culture in general, which is undergoing a serious epistemic crisis, are revealed.

What were the chances of a poor provincial in the apocalyptic Bucharest of war and the first Stalinist years? Assuming that he would not have died in the war, and by some miracle, the young man would have had the chance to connect to the culture of the moment. Let′s follow the young writer Constantin Țoiu with an invisible camera, and let′s watch his destiny with the door ajar, while entering the atmosphere of utopian freedom of the first communist years. With degrees in philology and philosophy, he wants more than melting into the underground cultural world of Bucharest, which has gone through war and, recently, totalitarianism. The last utopia – that of freedom – was more attractive than anything.

Abstract:
The media and communication have a great impact in shaping and directing opinions towards certain goals, as well as affecting the pattern of tastes and behaviour of individuals and groups. Studies indicate that the media took the place of the classic cultural and social upbringing institutions, such as the family, the school, the religious institution, the group of comrades, and others. This development - at the same time - created negative complications such as stereotyped awareness and taste and the disruption of social and human ties, not to mention the melting of local cultures in the crucible of fabricated global culture, which led to the emergence of new, renewed human values whose nerves are marketing, consumerism and the beating heart of totalitarianism and cosmopolitanism

Aiming at deepening in our understanding of the fundamental (Socratic) question “how should one live?”, in this paper I present and discuss a distinction among Morality, Happiness and Meaning as the three fundamental dimensions of a Good Life. I specify the notion of meaningfulness here at stake and comment on Susan Wolf’s (2010, 2016) account of this threefold distinction, discussing the central role she gives to reasons of love in the differenciation of meaning. Next, I present what I call the Argument from Kinds of Satisfaction, and raise some important – and open– questions about the articulation of these three dimensions. The last part of the paper is devoted to consider how socio-political conditions affect the prospects of a good life; particularly, how the threat of authoritarianism and totalitarianism specifically affect the three dimensions of a good life. Keywords: Morality, Happiness, Meaning in Life, Passions, Ground Projects, Authoritarianism

Abstract:
The protection of human rights in democratic societies has long been recognized as one of the basic principles on which orderly states and states characterized by the rule of law are based. However, today more than ever we see the potential of global social movements (especially current ones) produced by various factors (pandemics, crises, wars ...) to turn states in the direction of totalitarianism, which increasingly restrict and often endanger human freedoms and rights. In that sense, the strengthened control of the administration and the protection and guarantee of human rights through the institution of the ombudsman or similar institutions, has proven to be successful so far, to a sufficient extent that this institution has a significant number of states today. Accessibility to citizens, the duration of the procedure and, ultimately, the authority of the institution that imposes itself when it comes to acting on ombudsman decisions, are just some of the reasons why more and more citizens seek protection of their rights and legality in the procedure before the ombudsman. ordinary court proceedings. The paper will analyze the legal nature of the ombudsman institution, the issue of its powers and attitudes towards public administration entities, as well as the issue of the local ombudsman, ie the results of his work, especially having in mind the legal "possibility", not the obligation to establish a local ombudsman. local governments - cities and municipalities.

Abstract:
Genocide is an attempt to wipe out an entire group of human beings, either directly by killing them, or indirectly by creating conditions favorable to their death, for disciplinary purposes aimed at punishing, blaming and retaliating against the victim, routine institutionalization in the context of war, utilitarianism aimed at achieving a specific gain, A monopoly aimed at identifying the dominant in power, and an ideology aimed at creating an optimal society and erasing all that is impure. The scientific study of genocide in a calm cognitive way is a humanitarian and historical necessity, because the horrific and tragic outcomes of this phenomenon threaten the depth of human existence and human values. It is a complex phenomenon that can be approached from multiple sides, philosophical, political, sociological, economic, historical and psychological, each of these approaches has a great value in understanding the phenomenon, but the psychological and social dimensions are at the core of these approaches. In a previous study by the researcher on the Iraqi historical memory (Ghabr, 2014), the strength of the presence of the genocides - Saddamism and terrorism - was found among the most important events in contemporary Iraqi history in the Iraqi historical memory, and it fell within the first factor (suffering) in the content of that memory, the factor that Intertwined with a complex web of relationships with political cultures and social movements. Therefore, the current study will work on clarifying the psychosocial dynamics of genocide through a comprehensive review of the specialized literature, and employing those insights in understanding the genocide in the Iraqi context, as the Iraqi context witnessed multiple and horrific genocide campaigns, in the time of totalitarianism and Daaeshism, and such an approach constitutes an existential necessity in Iraq.

Abstract:
Двумя ведущими направлениями западной философии второй половины XX – начала XXI в. выступают постпозитивизм и постструктурализм. В рамках постструктурализма по сей день достаточно популярной остается концепция французских философов Жиля Делёза и Феликса Гваттари о различиях философии и религии. Они объясняют данное различие через противопоставление имперского и полисного способов организации социально-политического пространства. При этом четкой демаркации между философией и религией не проводится. Религия выступает одновременно и как равноправный конкурент философии, и как «предфилософия». Тем самым ей приписывается более низкий статус среди видов культурной деятельности по сравнению с философией. Соответственно, и оценка имперского способа организации пространства отличается двойственностью и противоречивостью. С одной стороны, империя выступает альтернативой полису, с другой стороны, все же следует предпочесть полис с его свободой мышления и демократическими политическими институтами. Основоположник постпозитивизма Карл Раймонд Поппер является автором концепций открытого общества и антиисторицизма. Под историцизмом Поппер понимает попытки научного обоснования закономерностей в развитии общества, опираясь на опыт прошлого. Такие попытки, согласно Попперу, не могут быть фальсифицированы, то есть опровергнуты эксперементально, а следовательно, носят ненаучный характер. Англо-австрийский философ усматривает прямую связь между имперским социально-политическим универсализмом, историцизмом и тоталитаризмом. При этом Поппер игнорирует тот факт, что предложенная им самим концепция открытого общества так же не может быть фальсифицирована, следовательно, не соответствует им же самим введенному критерию научности. The two leading trends of Western philosophy of the second half of the XXth – early XXIth century are postpositivism and poststructuralism. Within the framework of poststructuralism, the concept of the French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari about the differences between philosophy and religion remains quite popular to this day. Deleuze and Guattari explain this difference through the opposition of imperial and polis ways of organizing socio-political space. At the same time, there is no clear demarcation between philosophy and religion. Religion acts both as an equal competitor to philosophy and as "pre-philosophy". Thus, it is attributed a lower status among the types of cultural activities, compared with philosophy. Accordingly, the assessment of the imperial way of organizing space is characterized by duality and inconsistency. On the one hand, the empire is an alternative to the policy, on the other hand, one should still prefer the policy with its freedom of thought and democratic political institutes. The founder of postpositivism, Karl Raymond Popper, is the author of the concepts of open society and anti-historicism. By historicism, Popper understands attempts to scientifically substantiate patterns in the development of society, based on the experience of the past. Such attempts, according to Popper, cannot be falsified, that is, refuted, and, therefore, are not scientific in nature. The Anglo-Austrian philosopher sees a direct connection between imperial socio-political universalism, historicism and totalitarianism. At the same time, Popper ignores the fact that the concept of an open society proposed by himself cannot also be falsified, and therefore does not correspond to the criterion of scientific character introduced by himself.
