Charismatic leaders emerged, justifying their actions in the name of a political ideology or exaggerated nationalism. Historian Juan J. Linz, in 'Totalitarian and Authoritarian Regimes' (1975), highlights that 'when analyzing regimes like the German Nazism, we perceive not only the centralization of power, but also the manipulation of the masses through a common ideology and the exploitation of fear and uncertainty'.
