From Hard Communism to Soft Populism. Some Remarks on the Romanian Cultures of Nationhood

Summary/Abstract: One of the topics shared indiscriminately both by the communist ideology and by its critics is collectivism. More precisely, it is the idea - of illustrious Hegelian des­cent - according to which under socialism in general and, particularly in Soviet-type societies, the individual is organically and hierarchically committed to the social sphere embodied by the state. The individual destiny is melt, programmatically and practi­cally, in the greatness of the global project of the communist society, and the bright future of humanity must have pre-eminence in the face of the concreteness of every­ day life.
