Charisma and the Cult of the Leader

Charisma and the Leader Cult Book Description: The relationship established between "charismatic" leaders, whose dose of authoritarianism is increasing day by day, and the masses is an area that different disciplines have thought about and researched for many years. Since the darkness of Hitler's fascism, the question of why and how the masses support the authoritarian regime and "one man" still remains current. It is an important problem waiting to be understood why and how the governments of the "one man", who are masculine, nationalist and hostile to even the smallest gains of the freedom perspective, received support from the masses. For this very reason, the mass has been a phenomenon that has been considered at least as much as all leader research. Mass, people, society... The relationship of the masses, defined in various ways, with charismatic authoritarian leaders and regimes has multidimensional foundations, including psychological, social and economic. The social meaning that the masses attribute to themselves is significant. The masses from which the "one man" draws power and claims to act on behalf of them have a total meaning beyond the individual. In these days when increasingly authoritarian governments, which claim to act for the "total" and derive their power from the "total", begin to have power in almost the entire world, the book in your hands wishes to contribute to the effort to understand the renewed face of the relationship established between the mass and the authoritarian and charismatic leader.
