The study Convergence Beyond the Ideologies of a Yet Political Arts Censorship identifies similar ways of censoring the arts in the totalitarianisms of the twentieth century, that sought to create the “New Man” through hatred and the denial of alterity. Although the ideologies that used this cultural reductionism were adversaries, in social practice they came closer through their attempts to transform art into political propaganda. Thus, in each case the aim was to perform a collective brain wash, until the execution of the supreme and ideologically correct commands of the moment, even though they were infamous. However, the spread of dogmatism invariably ossifies the parasitic society, preventing it from responding to the complex challenges of reality. And the paralysis of the social body can only lead to an inevitable collapse, as demonstrated by the history of totalitarianism since time immemorial.
