The "New Man"
The totalitarian regimes of the last century (dictatorships) did not allow
freedom of opinion, as they sought to forge a "new man" (the comrade, the true
patriot, or the companion, the true communist) and therefore believed (rightly,
in their view) that this was not possible in a climate of cultural pluralism. In
the end, it is the same mental process as the modern woke movement.
Democracy, on the other hand, is characterized by cultural pluralism, which
leads to different models of man: we could say that democracy seeks a man open
to all models.
