Love and "class wars" in the 1930s

How is being in love the condition sine qua non for support given to totalitarians who take over the theory of the struggle, in this case the class struggle in German ideology? The A. does not seek here to enter into the question of the correlation between the concept of "struggle", taken over by the totalitarians in the "thirties", and that of "love", which is the source of the support given them by the masses born of two thousand years of Judeo-Christianity inspired by the Canticle, the grammar, both Jewish and Christian, of the identification between the public love of the people for its principle and the private love between "Her" and "Him". Rather, the A. limits himself in this article to a destiny, that of Chaplin, in order to provide an introduction to that which can unify well the two facets of his personality, the communist and the romantic, namely in his film "Modern Times", which came out in 1936, and which enables us to see together those components which at first sight appeared foreign one to the other, namely a radical criticism of (modern society) in the name of consideration for the human race and a beautiful love-story. To achieve his aim, the A. makes use only of categories relating to "nihilism", as perceived by Hans Jonas, in his famous epilogue to "The Gnostic Religion".
