5735 - From total ideologies to final solutions

N. Lygeros
Translation: Paola Vagioni

In a totalitarian system, ideology gives rise to behaviors that can harm the power of the State: in Nazi Germany, politics, the anti-Semite policy deprived the Reich of part of its scientific elite; in Stalinist Russia, the purges disorganized the army, the collectivization ruined agriculture, resulting in attenuation factors one of which was sanctioned in the short run (together with the defeats of 1941 against Germany) and the other had constantly hampered the regime until its final collapse in 1991.” Coutau- Bégarie

In the two extreme cases treated by Coutau-Bégarie that led on one hand to the genocide of the Jews (6 millions murdered) and on the other hand to the genocide of the Ukrainians (7 millions murdered), we see that total ideologies could only lead to final solutions. However, the reality is much harsher because these ideologies are allegedly born to resolve economic problems. Yet under this pretext readily accepted by the masses and explained to them if this was not the case, these total ideologies created a problem on the humanity scale. The other basic point of this situation is that these two genocides did not allow any of these systems to actually survive from the moment they desired to play a role on the planet scale. On the other side Turkey, which did not enter this schema, continues to exist as a system despite the genocide of the Armenians (1.5 millions murdered). This means that a total ideology when it is restricted to a level which is not solely local but in any case not global, it continues despite the genocide committed to attain that structure. This seems like a loophole that enables to avoid the application of an overall theorem that would be detrimental. However this is not only unacceptable but also intolerable. This is why it is necessary to strengthen our means of resistance by exploiting strategic mixes without settling for a linear compartmentalized process that does not permit to accelerate the entire redemption process. Before a total ideology which uses every means possible within the framework of a total strategy, it is necessary to perform a backward analysis – in the computer sense of the term, a holistic synthesis – in the cognitive sense of the term – and to take an unconventional action. In other words, we find ourselves in the framework of a small war of memory within a peace of oblivion. That is why the righteous of memory and the warriors of peace must be the same men to fight effectively against the system born out of the systematic destruction because Turkey was not born out of the ashes of the Ottoman Empire. It was created from scratch from the bones of the victims of its crime against humanity. But who else, except the righteous dare, shout it in the face of the societies of indifference.
