Revolutionary terror occurs in the name of virtue, reason or brotherhood. Modern chauvinism only knows of ethnically homogeneous communities. Totalitarianism, finally, propagates the comprehensive social and racial sameness and completely welds the individual into a coercive community. Without fail it ends in the destruction of the other. Where absolute values govern violence, there is no indulgence.
Destruction is total, persecution excessive.
For the belief strives to the fulfilment of its own prophecy. It proves its truth through the power of violence, through the multitude of victims.
