Axiopsychological Refutation of Totalitarian Ideologisms in the Era of Globalization

Abstract

The article states that ideologisms are certain elements of an ideology which, by manifesting the political culture of society, fill it with a specific ethnical content. Ideologisms are embodied in myths, legends, traditions, collective conceptions, propaganda narratives, typical social illusions, etc. They represent the historical experience of the people, and, in the first place, render their geopolitical, crathological, militaristic aspirations in the context of their own ideological views and attitudes to other ethnic and cultural communities. Totalitarian ideologisms express a destructive subject-object attitude of certain society (the state) to large out-groups in terms of their usefulness for its own interests and are typical of totalitarian societies. Constructive ideologisms are based on the culture of tolerance and respect for the dignity of others; they are an example of a subject-subject attitude which is inherent in a democratic society.
