Self-Submergence

I understand that the social base of Nazism was the petite bourgeoisie, small businessmen, shop keepers, self-employed etc, feeling equally threatened both by big capital and by organized labor - even though the Nazi regime was anything but a "Third Force" equally opposed to those two pre-existing social forces! You might think that members of such a class would value their individuality but another response was to submerge themselves in a mass movement:

Hitler said, "Mass demonstrations must burn into the little man's soul the conviction that, though a little worm, he is part of a great dragon."

-copied from here.

In "Tiger By The Tail," some Scothans also feel:

"...that darker longing for submergence of self which humankind had also known, too often, too well." (p. 254)

Scothans have been forcibly unified and are denied self-advancement by "...the aristocratic, anti-commercial order at home..." (ibid.) One way to cope with this is to identify themselves with the outward aggressive urge of the Frithian kingdom. At University, a Fascist-influenced student told me that we need to recognize "the mystical." This interested me until I learned that, by "mystical," he meant not self-transcendence but "marching together..."

Nazis also scapegoated a racial minority and Dominic Flandry introduces this policy as part of his sabotage of Schotania. See Flandry On Scotha: Earl Morgaar.
