Miseria de la masa y variedades actuales de sacrificio

Abstract

This paper discusses the mystifying nature of the bet that some subjects make by submitting to an idealized master in a subconscious strategic effort to deny their responsibility in their own destiny for every action they take. Such subjects start out by annulling the associations and the differences between authority and authoritarism in order to accomplish the authoritarian bet of the masses’ misery. Even though such a bet implies paying the cost of submission, it never fails in its search for the lost “superman” that subjects create and even force into existence at the expenses of unaccountable sacrifices may inevitably lead to holocausts. Lastly, the paper also sees into the current diversity of sacrifices focusing on the close link between the psycho-analytical categories of the ideal I –associated with the leader’s kind face– and the super- I, and the atrocious and coactive leader-master’s face leading to annihilation.
