What the "Todesrune" means for authoritarian systems?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

"Todesrune" is the symbol of opposite morale than Nazis and Waffen-SS had, and it meant the death of an authoritarian and totalitarian system. When we are talking about the “Lebensrune" and “Todesrune" we must notice that Waffen-SS official way to think was different than normal persons have, and this is why the death of Third Reich means to live for that personnel, who were persecuted by the Nazis. The official way of thinking in that organization was that weak persons must die, and also the henchmen had the responsibility to give their lives if their superiority ordered to make the suicide. In this notorious organization had only one law.


The henchmen must do exactly, what the superiority ordered. Without making any questions about the orders what they got. And that was the rule even for the highest rank officials, whose orders were to carry the cyanide tablets in their pocket or hollow teeth in their mouth because the suicide made them choose to avoid the imprisonment. And this “helped to keep military secrets” like holocaust and the concentration camps hidden from the public. The way of life in that organization was death and violence. That’s the way the normal persons must think opposite way than some SS-man thinks. This is the reason why SS symbol “Todesrune" is actually the offer of life to normal people. The way of thinking in the one of the most brutal political army in the history was very egocentric.


 In that military organization everything what the leaders or the commanders said was right. And that gave those men right for the mass murders. In this way of thinking the death of the SS mean life for another person's. We must say that this notorious organization was the top of the totalitarianism and militarism. The form of those organizations is that all totalitarian states will force all the people in the same model. Individualism is the worst what could be done in the totalitarian system.



In those systems, the only purpose of the human is to serve the superiority and the person can’t serve authorities, this means that the person is useless. In those systems the superiority afraid the “Fractal effect" what is actually known as the “butterfly effect". In all very well organized and organized systems the disturb will be seen very far, and in one theory is mentioned the situation, where the butterfly strikes it wings, will that cause the whirl what will be strong and then it will transfer to the hurricane. In the systems like military forces, all disturbing might be very well seen, and that will grow to all the regiment size rebellion. And that's the reason, why all military forces will give extreme hard punishments to the persons what it seems to disturb the service. And that is the reason why “Todesrune” is live for others.

All empires have their problems, and they all choose their road

About the future of the Europe is a road, what every culture and empire have done. That is the road of the Roman empire and all other empires on the earth. All empires have risen because people needed protection against other people, but after that, the empires have fallen by internal disorders. That is the road for the European Union, if something will not be done soon. The reason why all empires have fallen is very clear. There have been the forces, who thought that all nations must be independent. But those people have another reason for drive independence in their areas, and that is not very altruistic. The reason for those independence movements is actually that those people can be great leaders in the small countries. And those populist movement leaders might only want good work in the parliament. And that kind of people caused the collapse of the empire. Every empire has met their fate in the situation, where people have bored about the government of their homelands. In the authoritarian state,  people lost their trust in authorities.


And that stated the rebel against the central government like in the Russian in 1917. The people were bored for the tsar, and after that, they started to fear the leader of the Russian empire, and that’s why they started the open rebellion against that man, who was the absolute dictator. The authoritarian and strong leadership of the state seem very good way to restore law and order to the state. But there is one little risk in that philosophy. Those leaders will sometimes become very brutal against their people. When we are talking about the restoring the law and the order, normally people think that means riots and violence.


Modern police forces have created the situation where violence is concrete but the violent person wants to save his life. And of course, the weapon what is used in that action is effective only in the short range. Nobody ever thought that somebody will open the fire in the middle of the street with the assault rifle and after that explodes himself. This kind of violence is the new element for police. But when we are talking about strong leadership we must understand that those strong leaders might be first very democratic. Those laws what allows the authoritarian way to use power are made to protecting the state. They were necessary for young states, what was not able to stabilize their governmental power and position for their governmental institutions.



 But if those laws will stay, they can give power to undemocratic advantage for that state. And we must realize that no leader lives forever. When the person in the head of the state changes the next owner of that position is not so democratic than his predictor. That is what we have seen in the history. The democracy based need for the strong leadership has changed for the nightmare like in many young states have done. The leaders who were very charismatic leaders for the people were changed as populistic and authoritative leaders, who crush the opposition without mercy.  That kind of advantage will cause fear against the government, and the result could be devastating for the empire. That happened in the Roman Empire and the last empire what faced that truth is the Soviet Union what collapsed because people feared to go home after protests.



That caused the snowball effect, where more and more people came to the streets, and then the Soviet government was unable to handle that situation. And the thing what grown that effect was fear, because the history of the Soviet and Russian government showed to the people, that they will go in very big trouble if they have taken part of the riots, what we're all demonstrations, what were focused against the central government of the Soviet Union. And they remember the promises what the Soviet authorities had made, and what they had broken.  And that is the problem with strong leaders. They afraid the people, and sometimes the fear is too strong, and people will start to rebel. This is the danger for an authoritative government.
