Whether in Stalinist Bolshevism, posited here as the matrix of the "totalitarian personality"; in its extreme form of totalitarianism with the Islamic State; or in a more diluted variant in the Polish ruling party 'Law and Justice' (PiS), each is characterized by the negation of temporal and spatial distance, and therefore by the negation of causal links, displacement and transformation of experience. These components are specific to the unconscious which, in dreams as Freud considered, acts upon factual datum, denies it, and reproduces it in another way, one that conforms more closely to the dreamer's desires. For this reason, the politics that arise from these regimes have much in common with a hallucination. François Bafoil is an Emeritus Senior researcher, CNRS, at the Center for international research (CERI) Sciences Po, Paris, France. An expert of eastern Europe and energy politics, he is also a specialist of the relationship between psychoanalysis and social sciences, through the figures of Freud and Weber. 410 0$aThe Sciences Po Series in International Relations and Political Economy,$x2945-6088 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aInternational Relations Theory 606 $aInternational Security Studies 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 14$aInternational Relations Theory. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 676 $a363.325 676 $a321.9019 700 $aBafoil$b Franc?ois$0514886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911001785003321 996 $aThe Politics of Destruction$94376823 997 $aUNINA
