I’ve always viewed totalitarianism as more or less a sort of Political Gnosticism, to rip off from Voegelin. These are largely spiritual disorders with political aspects.

I’ll have to check that out when I’m less medicated. Sounds like there’s something to it though.
I probably wouldn’t use the word ‘spiritual’ in reference to the disorder, but maybe I would say moral disorders with political manifestations. Something like that. A highly disordered cultural ethos.
