Psychopathy and the Origins of Totalitarianism

Book •
The work examines how totalitarianism emerges from individuals and groups who construct ideological pseudo-realities to manipulate others, often driven by psychopathic tendencies.

Lindsay argues that such ideologies create paralogic (false logic) and paramorality (false morality) systems, leading to cult-like adherence and societal collapse if unchecked.

The analysis connects these patterns to modern ideological movements and historical totalitarian regimes.
