"Condemnation of totalitarian regimes that adopted the ideologies of Nazism or communism should be only the first step towards complete condemnation of all forms of intolerance, fanaticism and ignorance that have suppressed and continue to suppress fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and nations. Every ideology which does not respect human dignity and human life deserves condemnation and is fundamentally unacceptable.
Nazism and communism are ideologies that were actually inspired by older ideologies. These were formulated in the 19
century and became established as constitutional principles among European states of the time. Ideologies such as militarism, chauvinistic nationalism, imperialism, radicalism and later fascism were in their essence inhumane and destructive and they therefore deserve explicit condemnation just as much as the ideologies which appeared later in the form of communism and Nazism.
We must particularly emphasise this at the current time, which is an uncertain and exceptionally difficult period. We must therefore not permit the emergence of new political currents inspired by ideas as anti-human as those that lay behind Nazism and communism. Intolerance can be combated only by refusing to compromise or to make exceptions and we would therefore like to ask that the words “fight against totalitarianism” are amended to “fight against all state regimes which have brought about the suppression of human dignity, freedom and the uniqueness of every individual”."@en1
