Conservative thinkers also contemplated the past events and were unanimous in denouncing national socialism as one of the most devastating manifestions of modern civilisation. From this perspective, the ravages of an increasingly depersonalized and secularized mass society led the Germans into the arms of Hitler's "pseudo-religion". This interpretation of national socialism came from a long established culture of anti-modernism. Yet, paradoxically, this view made equally possible the renewal of conservative political thinking in terms of anti-totalitarianism. Thus, this change helped prepare the democratization of the conservative German elite. (Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte / FUB) |
