Creating the “New Man”
Both Stalinism and Nazism share an ideological vision of creating an ideal “new man”, both identified the “bourgeois” world as the old world that was obsolete, and both involved a total rejection of liberalism as well as individual rights and freedoms, in which they sought to create a new, illiberal modern society.[34][35] This vision of the New Man differed between them, the Stalinists conceived of the New Man as necessarily involving the liberation of all of humanity – a global and non-ethnic goal, while the Nazis conceived of the New Man as a master race that would organize a new racial hierarchy in Europe.[34] Both systems made heavy use of propaganda, with Stalinism attempting to reshape the new “Soviet man”.[36]
