About this Quote

This quote by Rocco Buttiglione speaks to the concept of a brand-new form of totalitarianism that is advancing on the left. This brand-new type of totalitarianism is characterized by a state religion that is required for all. This faith is an atheist, nihilistic faith, meaning that it does not believe in any greater power or function. This faith is based on the idea that life is meaningless and that there is no supreme truth or morality. This kind of totalitarianism looks for to control people through fear and intimidation, and it is a harmful type of control that can result in oppressive programs. It is necessary to recognize the dangers of this type of totalitarianism and to withstand it in order to safeguard our liberty and our rights.
