Less insecurity today, more freedom tomorrow. The past teaches

Abstract

This essay is divided into closely interconnected two parts. The first of these – the bureaucracy of destruction – refers to the most striking episode of systematic annihilation of the “enemy” from the denial of their rights and the underestimation of its human attributes. In the other it seeks to show that the nature of the human being- homo homini lupus – and the historical trajectory  of the peoples, under certain circumstances, can converge on a result that makes it possible to happen what normal men don’t  imagine happening, whose highest example – although not unique – is the holocaust, which was promoted by the national-socialist totalitarian movement, but systematized by a fanatical bureaucratic-ideological group. The brief final consideration, to the conclusion guise, concerns belief in the learning of the current generation with those preceding them in the troubled twentieth century. Greater socio-political stability, particularly in today’s Europe, contributes to better coexistence between people, greater trust between countries and more freedom for all.
