Some things are simple, namely the relationship between nationalism or patriotism on the one hand, and political violence and the desire for dictatorship, on the other. 

Nationalism is love of country. Nearly every violent political movement is carried out in the name of one's beloved country and its people: Hitler & Germany; Lenin or Stalin & the Soviet people; Mao & the Chinese people.

Political mass murder is carried out in the name of one's nation and its people. This is not a "rationalization" for some other motivation. The desire to murder and love of country are not separate from one another.

The leader is fanatically attached to a certain political object. He is so close to it. He cannot separate himself from the object that he "loves." The very love of the object means that he also hates it. The object is too close for comfort. He obtains his power from this closeness, but his individuality is threatened. He cannot separate himself from the beloved object.

However, there are others in one's nation that may not love the country as much as the leader does. They are separate from the fantasy of symbiotic oneness. They are not symbiotically bound the nation.

HATRED IS DIRECTED TOWARD THE IDEA OF FREEDOM FROM THE MOTHER; TOWARD THOSE WHO DO NOT LOVE THE NATION AS MUCH AS ONE LOVES IT ONESELF. These are the despicable "free people" who have not submitted; who do not love the country enough.

Hatred is directed toward those who are not fanatically attached. They are free of the oppressive symbiotic bond. HOW DARE YOU SEPARATE FROM MOTHER NATURE? How dare you not wish to love and devote yourself to your nation? "Death to the non-believers."

This doesn't necessarily mean killing: Dictatorship requires that others submit to the "beloved" object as one has submitted oneself. The object and the self must be one and the same: no escape. One's power (political power) derives from massive identification.

Dictatorship means that everyone has submitted one hassubmitted oneself. Dictatorship means that I myself am the beloved mother to which you must submit. 

It's unbearable that some may be free--not subject to the power of the omnipotent mother. It may be necessary to kill these free people (those who do not worship the mother).

The photo below conveys the central dynamic of political dictatorship: the equation of self with the beloved mother-country. No separation; no separateness; an oppressive bond from which there is no escape.
