Abstract

Beyond the one-sided tenet based on the self-centeredness of totalitarian and fascist regimes, is engraved the elimination of the other from the domain of power and legitimacy, and the deprivation of human rights and citizenship within the framework of the self-written law of considering the other as an inferior race and a hostile enemy in opposition to the integral values of the totalitarian system which defines everything and everyone in the form of a single self-believer in the manifesto of the central totalitarian state, and, by denying the identity of another as an alien, tries to redefine the collective identity in the framework of extreme and fascist racism. Following such an idea, the present age has turned into a hegemonic era of war, violence bloodshed, and genocide, and, the elimination of racial minorities in order to homogenize the belief-ethnic structure of societies under the domination of totalitarian governments shows itself on the injured face of human rights. The result of a hostile attitude towards others and trying to subjugate racial groups is resorting to violence and horrible crimes which has turned the contemporary period into a scene of prehistoric killings and violent behavior and removed the characteristic of civility, coexistence and peaceful human dialogue from its face.
