- Abstract:
- The chapter methodologically explores the phenomenon of narcissism as presented in Erich Fromm's psychoanalytic theory. Fromm's critical social theory of narcissism serves as the basis for understanding the anatomy of malignant social processes (ethno-nationalism, fascism, post-fascism) that underlie far-right politics in contemporary society. In "narcissistic society," the driving force behind narcissism in its most malignant manifestations is immense vanity, embodied in the figures of the leader, the Führer, and the radical national political elite, who endow the nation with the role of the "chosen people" superior to all others and thus justify an attack on those who did not recognize their superiority, which is typical of contemporary US politics.
