What exactly is authoritarianism

In the National System Week, the dictatorship of Wenger's teacher said, and the dictatorship in their minds tacitly pointed to Hitler, but the entire experiment was metaphorically a left-wing radical movement since the French Revolution. The film emphasizes that "Wengeer teacher was dazzled by the cult of students", and at the same time ended the film with "an extreme fanatic's absurd behavior" and the arrest of Wengeer teacher, echoing the liberal criticism of the left-wing movement. Reform does not require revolution, but a British-style revolution, not a French-style one. People are required to return to themselves, rather than collectively dedicate themselves to a collective consciousness.

The Nazi Party is a party of the left-wing radical movement. It relies on the slogan against bureaucratic capitalism to attract workers and the small and medium-sized Every family has a chicken when they open the lid," but he did not succeed. On the contrary, Hitler established Volkswagen. At the same time, many of its nationalist claims catered to the lost mentality of the Germans after the end of the First World War.

Hitler was the prime minister elected by a vote, and when the Nazi party began to "completely seize power," Prime Minister Hindenburg asked Hitler, was this a rebellion? Hitler answered him, no, this is a revolution. So every ordinary German, from fitter to chef, to farmer, and many entrepreneurs, sincerely believe that Hitler is Germany’s savior, running a serious, clean and efficient government like Bismarck decades ago, and executing tough Foreign policy revives Germany's glory. What's more precious is that they are willing to use personal actions to advance this journey. At that time, the factory workers had the same establishment, honor, and discipline as the soldiers on the front line.

Is all this reasonable? If it suppresses the will of the individual, and even directs people’s enthusiasm to the cult of Hitler, it seems wrong now, but what if all this is in the name of the revival of Germany? Hitler was just emphasizing that "Germany's revival is calling every one of you." This is equivalent to saying that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.

But considering the history that has taken place, the Nazi movement eventually led to a worldwide war, and the Germans gradually felt that Hitler was leading Germany to disaster, but this had nothing to do with liberalism. The Germans only found that they could not win this victory. In other words, this is not conscience.

Therefore, after the war, the Germans encountered a fundamental problem in their reflection on their embarrassing past. They had nothing to reflect on. During the period when the movement developed and grew, they experienced incredible fulfillment and happiness, even those who volunteered to act as a massacre. The German civilians, the executioners of the Jews, also felt that they were doing just things. And when Germany showed signs of defeat until the end of the war, they were ashamed of that happiness, which was unnecessary.

We are talking about the free choice of human will, so did those who follow Hitler obey their own will? I have no idea. If liberalism is really so good, then why did the Germans give up looseness and abide by discipline, and even then were willing to devote their lives to the Nazi movement? Some people say that this is because people need a sense of belonging, which makes sense.

So the great thing about this movie is that it shows how people naturally follow the collective will and become a part of the movement. The shortcoming of this film is that it cannot face this reality squarely, and must exaggerate the harm of the left-wing movement with excessive behavior, because it bears the moral responsibility of "liberalism". It must potentially criticize Hitler’s dictatorship, the Soviet dictatorship, and even China’s dictatorship. Everything related to discipline is considered an annihilation of individuality and an extreme crime. This is the current ideology, and I cannot say whether it is right or wrong. People reflect on the French Revolution. Hugo did a good job. He promoted human nature, but he also understood that the French Revolution was indeed of indisputable importance. The young people of the 21st century are a generation of reflection. They reflect on tyranny, on the Cultural Revolution, on the cultural imprisonment of the Soviet Union. They see Shostakovich’s memoirs that they are very addicted, because it is the suffering of intellectuals, as if they themselves He was nailed to the cross of despotism like the Christ of human civilization. But I think it is necessary to reflect on this kind of reflection, and this may include reflection on the liberalism sweeping the world today.
